PyCharm 项目中的外部库是什么？

Question

I'm a bit confused on this and can't find a satisfactory answer searching elsewhere - everything is about using external libraries in some way or another.

In my PyCharm projects, I've got your project root directory, which contains a venv . This venv of course contains the python executable relative to the project, as well as the relevant site-packages and modules I've downloaded via pip or whatever.

But there's always an External Libraries section, that has it's own Python executable, venv , .gitignore , site-packages , etc.

Is this normal? What's the purpose of having two venvs in the same project?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You only have one venv normally in your Project The other Python Executable should be the global one. Normally you use a venv to keep track of the needed Packages for this specific project. So that you don't confuse other Packages with other projects or have dependency/Version Issues

If you want you can also use the global Installation of Python which would not create a venv
