两个 python 解释器之间的区别

Question

I'm setting a python environment for new M1 mac(newbie of MacOS).

What I've done is installing Xcode, VScode, homebrew, and python3 in VScode installing extensions.

Then I tried to build some python project, and i met two interpreters with same version.

Python 3.8.2 with local one and Xcode's.

I'm afraid of two python interpreters mixing each other like anaconda python and local one(what i've faced in Windows).

Can I delete one to prevent further problem? Or I really don't have to?

Answer 1

What I usually do is setup a virtualenv for the project and point VSCode at the virtualenv 's Python interpreter.

~/dev/project $ virtualenv venv

In VSCode: CMD+Shift+P => Python: Select interpreter

The list of interpreters should inclue the one inside the newly created venv :
