Thank you for this VERY useful tutorial on virtual environments. I really needed it badly. Thanks again and keep up your good work!

[HopDubstep]

I like how easy to follow your video is. You have a good balance of how you progress through the steps naturally & explaining what you were thinking etc. really good job thank you!

This is the best video on pip so far. have seen so many but this one made this topic transparent like crystal water. Thanks a lot, from Bangladesh

Your video was the one that literally saved my life :) I was trying to set up virtual env. in my machine and trust me there are 100s of videos out there; but having tried about a dozen of ways and failed, I stumbled on this video and IT WORKED!!!! THANKS A LOT!

[atillamentes]

yeeees you are absolutely right. my first week in python and I had too many issues about environments which i wasnt aware of. now I learned and searched. this vid came up. and I cant agree more. Thanks mate!

[DDavis]

Excellent video! Thank you for helping us get started! You are a great instructor!

Veryinsightful and powerful tutorial. It has saved me tonnes of frustrations from reading acticles about virtual environments online but have no clear explanations for implementation.

Thanks Joe, this is exactly what I needed!
I was stuck on this part and I think starting off with this would have been very usefull..

I thought I would tackle virtual environments head-on as part of the install process because setting up Python for yourself as a novice can be quite a struggle. I know there are other approaches and ways to handle venvs, like pipenv, but I think looking at the manual creation of venv helps in the long-run.

Awesome tutorial, exactly what I was looking for!! cheers

Thank you for this. I was starting to learn python but couldn't run packages I confirmed had been installed - now I understand environments are key to access packages. Great insight to understand this sort of info is very important for beginners. Thank you sir!

[sirsoul]

Thank You So so Much for this video. I stopped advancing my skills in python for some months because of this mixup but you have just given us the full-fledged solution. Am so happy thank You. I think even beginners should be thought this. its not that hard to grasps

[alexmesman]

Thank you very much for this very clear introduction!

[MrDatimms]

This is a really well done tutorial. I would love to see more python stuff from you, there is definitely a niche to fill for python on Windows and using cmd rather than bash. I ended up here after a paid Python course on Udemy glossed over venv without really explaining it.

[veganath]

Thank Joe really very helpful especially the wrapper

[davida.]

I HAVE FINALLY FOUND THE CORRECT STARTING PLACE. Thank you!

[migi]

excellent, exactly what i was looking for! thank you!

[bruno]

Excellent video. Really helpful. Thanks a lot! Cheers

Great job explaining the setup and navigation of venv's, I am now successfully creating and navigating thru diff venv's. The only snag I had was "more requirements.txt" returned an error for me. Much relief after watching a dozen other videos with little progress.

You are a very good teacher you don't over confusing the viewer that's great and you all so don't try to teache and going off talking about something else
