Title: Using pip install -e for Development Mode in Python
Introduction:
When working on Python projects, it's common to use external libraries or packages to enhance functionality. However, during development, it's often necessary to make changes to these dependencies and see the immediate effects in your project without reinstalling them every time. This is where pip install -e (editable mode) comes in handy. In this tutorial, we'll explore how to use pip install -e for development mode with practical examples.
Before we begin, make sure you have Python and pip installed on your system.
While not mandatory, using a virtual environment is a good practice to keep your project dependencies isolated. To create a virtual environment, open a terminal and run:
Activate the virtual environment:
Let's create a simple Python project for demonstration purposes. Create a new directory and navigate into it:
Now, let's install our project in development mode using pip install -e. In the project directory, run:
The dot (.) at the end denotes the current directory.
You should see the updated output with the new farewell function.
Using pip install -e in development mode allows you to make changes to your project's dependencies and immediately see the effects without the need for constant reinstallation. This is a powerful tool for efficient development workflows in Python.
