Setup Python version and virtualenvs with pyenv

Using https://realpython.com/effective-python-environment/ as reference

Globally:

• install pyenv
• install pyenv-virtualenv: a pyenv plugin that provides features to manage virtualenvs
  • first check if it is already installed: ls $(pyenv root)/plugins/pyenv-virtualenv
  • if so let it be, if not: follow the installation instructions
• search for python remote versions available pyenv install -l | grep -Po "^\s\s3\.9.*" using python 3.9
• install python version: pyenv install 3.9.14
• set global python version pyenv global 3.9.14
• check global python version:
  • restart shell: exec $SHELL
  • what python version: python -V >Python 3.9.14
  • which python: which python >/home/andre/.pyenv/shims/python
• upgrade pip: $ python -m pip install --upgrade pip
• install packages which you want to use globally: pip install jupyter pandas pytest

Locally (project based)

• create: python virtual environment: pyenv virtualenv 3.9.14 hdf5
• activate it: pyenv activate hdf5
• ... work work work ...
• deactivate it: pyenv deactivate

on VScode

• install extensions: Python(Microsoft), Jupyter (Microsoft)
• after opening a project, select python interpreter: Ctl+Shift+P Python:Select interpreter navigate to the python interpreter of the that virtual env, for instances ~/.pyenv/versions/hdf5/bin/python
