Python Environment 2018

28 Oct 2018

before i jump in -

Python 3.7.1 is out! upgrade for fun laughter peace and joy hoho: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-371/


Now, setting up a Python environment/workflow is painful. For me anyway, because I am still learning and figuring out how to even just make stuff work…! Also, because I have a really bad memory lol

There are a couple of good guides out there, check them out: 1) https://hackernoon.com/reaching-python-development-nirvana-bb5692adf30c 2) https://jacobian.org/writing/python-environment-2018/

But here’s my own hoho


1) At home: macOS + I can do whatever I want/ install any packages I want (read: pytest)

2) At work: Windows + I can’t do… a lot of stuff (read: have to use unittest)

so, i have created the below two starter templates!
