Virtual Environments

Introduction

Paradime Code IDE supports virtual environments, allowing you to create isolated Python environments for your projects. This feature helps manage dependencies and ensures compatibility between different projects.

Paradime comes with Poetry pre-installed and available in the Code IDE. Poetry is the preferred method for managing virtual environments and dependencies in Paradime IDE.

Best Practices

1. Use requirements.txt or Poetry's pyproject.toml to track your project dependencies.

2. Always activate your virtual environment before working on your project.

3. Update your .gitignore file to exclude the virtual environment directory.

4. Prefer using Poetry for managing dependencies and virtual environments when possible.
