great video! never heard of PDM before today and I can't imagine anymore not using it.

Excelent video. For everyone installing the latest version of pdm as of today (25/07/22), the init wizard also asks whether or not to create an environment; to achieve the same results as this video, you must answer No.

Great channel. Keep it up. Super useful for someone new to Python.

Nice video, do you use PDM in production (containers) as well? How?

I had a strange issue installing pdm from brew; it wouldn't recognize its own version. I had 2.8.2 installed but 'pdm -V' kept showing '1.15.x'. Also simple commands like 'pdm list' were broken. Uninstalled from brew and re-installed using pip solved the issue, though I had to add something to $PATH
