Which Python

Joanna Stadnik

Have you ever felt like python virtual environments were something that just happened to you?
You pasted and ran the commands hoping it will just work, and tried to forget the trauma and confusion immediately after?
Having witnessed many a new developer (including myself) struggling with a python installation that just doesn't quite want to work, I have collected a few nuggets of knowledge and understanding that have helped me make the experience this little bit smoother. In the talk, we will answer such important questions as "What is a .bash_profile/.bashrc?", "What is a PATH?", "Why do I even need a virtual environment?", and, most importantly, "Which python???".
