Getting Started

1. Activate the virtual environment:

   .\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

2. Install required packages:

   pip install pygame flask requests numpy pandas

3. Create a new project:

   • Choose the appropriate folder for your project type
   • Create your Python files
   • The virtual environment will be available in all subfolders

Common Commands

• Check Python version: python --version
• List installed packages: pip list
• Install a package: pip install package_name
• Deactivate environment: deactivate

Notes

• All Python files in this folder structure will use the same virtual environment
• Remember to activate the environment before working on projects
• Keep requirements.txt files in individual project folders for reproducibility# python-projects-workspace
