Setting Up a Python Project with PyEnv and Poetry

Choose Python Version with PyEnv:

List available Python versions:

pyenv install --list

Install the desired Python version:

pyenv install <version>

Set the local Python version for your project:

pyenv local <version>

Create a New Python Project with Poetry:

Navigate to your desired project directory and create a new project:

poetry new my-project
cd my-project

Initialize a new Poetry project in an existing directory:

poetry init

Add Dependencies with Poetry:

Add a package:

poetry add <package-name>

Add development dependencies:

poetry add --dev <package-name>

Activate the Virtual Environment: Poetry automatically creates a virtual environment for your project. To activate it:

poetry shell

Run Your Python Code: You can now run your Python scripts within this environment:

python script.py

Conclusion

By following these steps, you have set up a powerful Python development environment on Windows using Python, PyEnv, and Poetry. This setup allows you to manage multiple Python versions effortlessly and handle project dependencies and virtual environments in a streamlined way. Happy coding!

Setting up a robust Python development environment on Windows involves installing Python itself, managing multiple versions with PyEnv, and handling dependencies and project environments with Poetry. This guide will walk you through each step to get your system ready for efficient and organized Python development.
