Python Environments

Python virtual environments are considered a best practice in Python development. A virtual environment includes a Python interpreter and any packages you have installed into it, such as numpy or Flask.

After you create a virtual environment using the Python: Create Environment command, you can install packages into the environment. For example, type python -m pip install numpy in an activated terminal to install numpy into the environment.
