I recently used
http://www.simononsoftware.com/virtualenv-tutorial-part-2/ to set up
one. I was mostly trying to see if I could use it to install current
Python 3 to an oldish Debian system. Worked fine.

I'm looking at tox that will automatically set up virtualenv for running unit 
tests under different versions of Python.

Leam - if the guide is difficult to follow, feel free to ask here, or
raise issues on the project tracker at
https://github.com/pypa/python-packaging-user-guide/. Most of us
working on packaging are way too involved in the details to know how
it really feels to a newcomer to be faced with all this stuff, so if
you have any comments (or even better, suggestions as to how we could
improve things) that would be immensely valuable.

The Python Packaging Authority has a guide

which seems good to me.

The standard library documentation for the ‘venv’ library
 is essential.

Follow the documentation maintained by the Python Packaging Authority

Good virtualenv and packaging tutorials for beginner?

2017-10-04 Thread Leam Hall 
Folks on IRC have suggested using virtualenv to test code under 
different python versions. Sadly, I've not found a virtualenv tutorial I 
understand. Anyone have a link to a good one?


The next step will be to figure out how to package a project; a good 
tutorial URL would be appreciated on that, too.


Thanks!
