Show HN: A virtual machine designed for programming workshops
- voltagex_ 11y agoWhy Python 2 over Python 3?
- jpdlla 11y agoI felt like if I installed Python 3 I'd still need Python 2 around. Didn't have a solid setup for supporting both and still being able to use virtualenvwrapper et al. I think I can just wrap some aliases like mkvirtualenv2.7 and mkvirtualenv3.3. Any better ideas are welcome.
- Alex3917 11y agoHow about pyenv (not to be confused with pyvenv), and pyenv-virtualenv? They are designed for solving this problem.
- travjones 11y agoThe decision seems reasonable to me. One could use virtualenv (included in the VM) to spin up a virtual python 3 environment when necessary.
- hobarrera 11y agovirtualenv (for python3) requires python3 already installed, so virtualenv solves nothing in this scenario.
- ridruejo 11y agoIf you want to do the same but with native installers, here is a good collection https://bitnami.com/stacks/infrastructure https://bitnami.com/stacks/infrastructure (disclaimer, I am one of the cofounders :)
