Legacy shell script to (re)create a Python virtual environment PLEASE READ NOTE

$mkenv.sh.md

This gist remains for historical reaons, however, I can no longer recommend using it.

The pracitce of using requirements.txt and simple pip dependencies is outdated and deprecated. All new projects should use a tool that supports the pyproject.toml integrated format and keeps locked versions for specified and child dependencies. My current choice is Poetry.

mkenv.sh

#!/bin/bash
 
VENV=".venv";
PYTHON="python3.10";
 
"${PYTHON}" -m venv "${VENV}";
"${VENV}/bin/${PYTHON}" -m pip install --upgrade wheel pip;
"${VENV}/bin/${PYTHON}" -m pip install -r requirements.txt;

requirements.txt
