  venv or nix

  These are 2014 problems

    Tried both, didn’t like 'm, using docker now

  Solved problem. Python virtual environments. Or install another python version with your package manager and make sure the python script calls it in the shebang instead of a generic /usr/bin/env python.

    Tried it, but some apps depend on spawning other python processes. Half the time that results in them breaking out of the env cuz they’re using the python in the system path

      So change the shebang to explicitly reference the venv python.

        Ye that’s handy, until some script inside a library or something doesn’t

    What’s wrong with 3.13?

    source

    • 30p87@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      That it’s the newest and therefore already installed version, but, in this scenario, also not the correct one.

  And that’s why nix exists.

    I tried it, ye. And although I like the concept, I can’t say the implementation was to my liking

      What didn’t you like about it? I am just curious; I finally stepped out of using Debian for everything which I have been doing for approximately 200 years, and tried NixOS, and to me it is incredibly nice the way it solves a lot of these issues.

        When I tried it it looked really cool. Up until it just… didn’t work. And then looking around I found a bunch of people giving me better snippets of scripts and it was not helpful
