Python environment venv docker locally and github

certainly! this tutorial will guide you through setting up a python virtual environment using `venv`, creating a docker container to run your python application, and how to manage your code with github. we'll cover local setup and pushing your project to github.

### part 1: setting up a python virtual environment with `venv`

1. **install python**:

2. **create a project directory**:
open your terminal and create a directory for your project.



3. **create a virtual environment**:
use the `venv` module to create a virtual environment.



this will create a directory named `venv` in your project folder that contains the python interpreter and libraries.

4. **activate the virtual environment**:
- on windows:



- on macos/linux:



after activation, your terminal prompt should change to indicate that the virtual environment is active.

5. **install packages**:
you can now install any required packages using `pip`. for example, install `requests`.





### part 2: dockerizing your python application

1. **create a `dockerfile`**:
in your project directory, create a file named `dockerfile`.



2. **build the docker image**:
in your terminal, run the following command to build the docker image:



3. **run the docker container**:
after building the image, you can run it using:



### part 3: using git and github

1. **initialize a git repository**:
in your project directory, initialize a new git repository.



2. **create a `.gitignore` file**:
create a file named `.gitignore` to exclude files and directories that you don’t want to track, s ...
