How to configure a Python project using Pyenv
First install the appropriate Python version:
pyenv install <version>
python local <version> (inside dir)
Then create a new environment like this:
pyenv virtualenv <version> <project name>
Now inside the project’s dir:
pyenv local <project name>
Example:
pyenv install 3.6.10
pyenv global 3.6.10
# If you ever want to go back to the system version of Python as the default, you can run this:
# pyenv global system
For example, with pyenv-virtualenv from the project’s root:
pyenv install 3.7.7
pyenv virtualenv 3.7.7 message-ranking
pyenv local message-ranking
pip install -r requirements.txt
