Hi- thank you for creating this. I have a question maybe you can help. I am successfully able to install different versions of python (I installed 3.10 and 3.11). I created the venv folder and then hit source bin/activate. I can successfully get my virtual environment to load. But when I open a new terminal, without the virtual environment loaded, and check the python version it shows whatever was the latest version I loaded, not the default version. Why?

[ankitkumartiwari]

Hey ! I started this tutorial recently and am confused about the Python version. Which version of Python is suitable for now?

[haicaastaebun]

For every project you make, you need to create a different venv? I still dont get what this virtual env means and what exactly is used for.

Hey man, thank you. Do I have to use Python 3.6 or can I use 3.8.9 for this tutorial?

[stevenkitavi]

Hey Mitch, i'm beginning the series now, i see Mac M1 doesn't have Python 3.6.* can i use Python 3.9.*?

[MalihaIslamShefa]

Sir, Could I use 3.12.4 rather than 3.6.4?

[haicaastaebun]

What if I want to use a different version of python when I create the virtual env? How do I do that? How do I choose the version of python I want and create the env with that version?

I have python 3.9.7 right now, is that ok to use for this tutorial?
