Python Virtual Environment Setup

A streamlined toolset for quickly setting up Python virtual environments with Jupyter Lab support.

Overview

This project provides automated scripts to create and configure Python virtual environments, making it easy to get started with Python development and Jupyter notebooks.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.12 or higher
• Bash shell (macOS/Linux)

Quick Start

1. Initial Setup

Create a new virtual environment:

./setup_venv.sh

2. Verify Python Version

Check your Python version before proceeding:

python check_python_version.py

This script validates Python 3.12 compatibility.

3. Install Dependencies

Install required packages:

./install_deps.sh

4. Launch Jupyter Lab

Start Jupyter Lab for notebook development:

jupyter lab

Development Workflow

Activating the Virtual Environment
