Using python – best practices
This is how I do it:
- Manage python versions with
pyenv
. Modern python comes withpip
already installed. - Don’t touch system python if you have it, in terms of installing packages, updating it etc.
- For projects, use virtual environments using one of the python version installed with step 1. I prefer
poetry
at the moment to manage them. - Use
pipx
if you want to install a global utility, so it’s isolated from any projects.
Feedback welcome.
