This is HOW to create a Python Virtual Environment in VS Code with Venv

Virtual environments are the way to go when you want to build scalable projects which are easy to transfer. A virtual environment allows you to use a different Python version for different projects, and different dependencies. You can run Python version 3.11 global, and for example Python 3.8 in your venv - with different versions of selenium.

⭐️ All the terminal commands I use⭐
python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\Activate
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force

Doesn't it automatically enter the virtual environment once the interpreter is selected as .venv without the "activate" step?

Didn't work for me at all. I seem to be outputting python commands to a separate terminal to you. Nvm, will just use the cmd prompt to set up my virtual environments...imo VS code is truely awful. Thanks for the video though.
