__pycache__/
*.pyc
*.pyo
*.pyd
.Python
*.so
*.egg
*.egg-info/
dist/
build/
.pytest_cache/
.coverage
htmlcov/
.env
.venv
EOF

Modern Project with Poetry

# Create new project with structure
poetry new my-project
cd my-project

# Project structure created:
# my-project/
# ├── pyproject.toml
# ├── README.md
# ├── my_project/
# │   └── __init__.py
# └── tests/
#     └── __init__.py

# Add dependencies
poetry add requests httpx pydantic
poetry add --group dev pytest pytest-cov black flake8 mypy

# Install dependencies
poetry install

# Configure pyproject.toml
cat >> pyproject.toml << EOF

[tool.black]
line-length = 88
target-version = ['py311']

[tool.pytest.ini_options]
testpaths = ["tests"]
python_files = "test_*.py"

[tool.mypy]
python_version = "3.11"
warn_return_any = true
warn_unused_configs = true
EOF

Initialize Existing Project

# Navigate to project
cd existing-project

# Initialize poetry
poetry init

# Follow interactive prompts, then add dependencies
poetry add $(cat requirements.txt)

# Add dev dependencies
poetry add --group dev pytest black flake8

# Create virtual environment
poetry install

# Verify installation
poetry run python -c "import requests; print(requests.__version__)"

Dependency Management

requirements.txt Best Practices

# Basic requirements.txt
requests==2.31.0
django==4.2.7
celery==5.3.4

# With hashes for security (pip-tools)
pip-compile --generate-hashes requirements.in

# Separate files
requirements/
├── base.txt          # Common dependencies
├── development.txt   # Dev dependencies
├── production.txt    # Production dependencies
└── testing.txt       # Test dependencies

# development.txt
-r base.txt
pytest==7.4.3
black==23.11.0
flake8==6.1.0

# Install from specific file
pip install -r requirements/development.txt

Using pip-tools (Recommended)

# Install pip-tools
pip install pip-tools

# Create requirements.in
cat > requirements.in << EOF
django>=4.2,<5.0
requests
celery[redis]
EOF

# Compile to requirements.txt with pinned versions
pip-compile requirements.in

# Install from compiled requirements
pip-sync requirements.txt

# Update dependencies
pip-compile --upgrade requirements.in

# Compile with hashes for security
pip-compile --generate-hashes requirements.in

Poetry Dependency Management

# Add dependency with version constraint
poetry add "django>=4.2,<5.0"

# Add with specific version
poetry add django@4.2.7

# Add from git
poetry add git+https://github.com/user/repo.git

# Add from local path
poetry add --editable ./local-package

# Add with extras
poetry add "celery[redis,auth]"

# Update specific package
poetry update django

# Update all packages
poetry update

# Show outdated packages
poetry show --outdated

# Remove package
poetry remove requests

# Export to requirements.txt
poetry export -f requirements.txt --output requirements.txt
poetry export --without-hashes -f requirements.txt --output requirements.txt

Development vs Production Dependencies

# Poetry approach
[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = "^3.11"
django = "^4.2"
requests = "^2.31"

[tool.poetry.group.dev.dependencies]
pytest = "^7.4"
black = "^23.11"
flake8 = "^6.1"

# Install without dev dependencies
poetry install --without dev

# Install only specific groups
poetry install --only dev

# pip-tools approach
# requirements.in (production)
django>=4.2
requests

# requirements-dev.in (development)
-r requirements.in
pytest>=7.4
black>=23.11
flake8>=6.1

# Compile both
pip-compile requirements.in
pip-compile requirements-dev.in

Python Version Management

Using pyenv

# Install pyenv
curl https://pyenv.run | bash

# Add to shell configuration (.bashrc, .zshrc)
export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"
export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"

# Install Python versions
pyenv install 3.11.5
pyenv install 3.12.0

# Set global version
pyenv global 3.11.5

# Set local version (creates .python-version file)
pyenv local 3.11.5

# Create virtual environment with specific version
pyenv virtualenv 3.11.5 my-project-env

# Activate virtual environment
pyenv activate my-project-env

# Deactivate
pyenv deactivate

# List virtual environments
pyenv virtualenvs

# Delete virtual environment
pyenv uninstall my-project-env

Using pyenv with Poetry

# Set local Python version
pyenv local 3.11.5

# Initialize Poetry project
poetry init

# Poetry will use pyenv's Python version
poetry env use python

# Or specify version explicitly
poetry env use 3.11

# List Poetry environments
poetry env list

# Remove environment
poetry env remove python3.11

# Show environment info
poetry env info

Common Issues & Solutions

Issue: ModuleNotFoundError

# Check if virtual environment is activated
which python  # Should point to venv/bin/python

# Verify package is installed
pip list | grep package-name

# Reinstall package
pip install --force-reinstall package-name

# Check Python path
python -c "import sys; print('\n'.join(sys.path))"

# Fix: Activate virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate

# Fix: Install in editable mode for local development
pip install -e .

Issue: Dependency Conflicts

# Check for conflicts
pip check

# Show dependency tree
pip install pipdeptree
pipdeptree

# Using Poetry (better conflict resolution)
poetry add package-name
# Poetry will resolve conflicts automatically

# Force specific version
pip install "package==1.2.3"

# Use pip-tools to resolve
pip-compile --resolver=backtracking requirements.in

Issue: Multiple Python Versions Confusion

# Check current Python version
python --version
which python

# Use specific version explicitly
python3.11 -m venv venv

# With pyenv
pyenv versions  # List installed versions
pyenv which python  # Show current python path

# Set specific version for project
pyenv local 3.11.5

Issue: Corrupted Virtual Environment

# Delete and recreate
rm -rf venv/
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

# With Poetry
poetry env remove python3.11
poetry install

Issue: SSL Certificate Errors

# Temporary workaround (NOT for production)
pip install --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host pypi.python.org package-name

# Better solution: Update certificates
pip install --upgrade certifi

# macOS specific
/Applications/Python\ 3.11/Install\ Certificates.command

Issue: Permission Denied

# Don't use sudo with pip in virtual environment!
# Recreate venv with proper permissions

# Fix ownership
chown -R $USER:$USER venv/

# Use user install only if not in venv
pip install --user package-name

Environment Variables and Configuration

.env Files

Best Practices Summary

Virtual Environment

• Always use virtual environments (never install globally)
• One virtual environment per project
• Keep venv/ out of version control (.gitignore)
• Document Python version requirements (.python-version)
• Use pyenv for managing multiple Python versions

Dependency Management

• Pin exact versions in production (no ~, ^)
• Use pip-tools or Poetry for dependency resolution
• Separate dev and production dependencies
• Use lock files (poetry.lock, requirements.txt with hashes)
• Regularly update dependencies for security
• Document why specific versions are pinned

Project Structure

• Use src/ layout for packages
• Keep tests separate from source
• Include comprehensive.gitignore
• Add README.md with setup instructions
• Use pyproject.toml for modern projects

Security

• Never commit.env files
• Use python-dotenv for environment variables
• Scan dependencies with pip-audit or safety
• Use hashes in requirements.txt
• Keep dependencies minimal
• Update regularly for security patches

Development Workflow

• Use pre-commit hooks for code quality
• Configure formatters (black, isort)
• Use type hints and mypy
• Write tests with pytest
• Document setup steps in README

Quick Reference Commands

# venv basics
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip freeze > requirements.txt

# Poetry basics

Notes

• Prefer Poetry or pip-tools over manual requirements.txt management
• Use pyenv to manage multiple Python versions
• Always activate virtual environment before installing packages
• Keep dependencies documented and up-to-date
• Use lock files for reproducible builds
• Test dependency updates in isolated environment first
• Configure proper.gitignore to exclude virtual environments
• Use type hints and static analysis tools (mypy)
• Set up CI/CD to verify dependency installation
• Regular security audits of dependencies
