it has come to my attention that people still have problems with their python environment.

  1. install pyenv with curl https://pyenv.run | bash
  2. pyenv install 3.11 now you have the latest python (it can also install pypy, anaconda and many others if you need)
  3. pyenv global 3.11 now you have a global python
  4. pyenv virtualenv 3.11 ape now you have a virtualenv
  5. pyenv local ape now the project folder contains .python-version which automatically activates the environment when you enter the folder

now it's time to develop your program. there are many advanced packaging tools (read about poetry or hatch to see if you need the advanced features), but we will go with the simplest one.

  1. pip install flit now you have a packaging tool
  2. flit init now you have a pyproject.toml, which is a modern way to specify packages
  3. flit install now you have installed your project for development
  4. flit publish now you have uploaded it to pypi for everyone to use
