📌 A Simple Python Project Setup Cheat Sheet for Beginners If you’re starting with Python projects (or even if you’ve been doing it for a while), one thing that often creates confusion is: 👉 Environment setup 👉 Python version management 👉 Dependencies breaking across systems So I decided to simplify this into a clean, repeatable cheat sheet. Sharing it here so others can benefit too 👇 💡 Step 1: Setup the foundation (UV + VS Code) Install VS Code, then install UV: powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://lnkd.in/dJ2sstef | iex" If that doesn’t work: winget install --id astral-sh.uv -e Verify: uv If not recognized: setx VARIABLE_NAME "variable_value" 🐍 Step 2: Install & manage Python versions uv python install 3.12 uv python install 3.14 Pin a version: uv python pin 3.12 📁 Step 3: Initialize your project uv init Creates: main.py .gitignore .python-version pyproject.toml README.md 💡 pyproject.toml = your project’s backbone 📦 Step 4: Create virtual environment uv sync 📚 Step 5: Manage dependencies Add: uv add numpy 👉 Automatically updates pyproject.toml 🔄 Step 6: Handle Python versions New project → pin new version OR Clone → delete .venv → re-pin → sync ▶️ Step 7: Activate & run .venv\Scripts\activate ⚡ Why this helps ✔ No “works on my machine” issues ✔ Easy onboarding for new team members ✔ Clean dependency tracking ✔ Consistent project structure #Python #DataScience #MLOps #SoftwareEngineering #Beginners #DeveloperTools #BestPractices

Everyone that works with Python knows the mandatory commands when you open the project folder in a terminal: $ cd project-folder $ source .venv/bin/activate $ pip install -r requirements.txt or uv sync (use uv, it's much better) And sometimes: $ docker compose up But, even being just a few lines, it gets annoying over time. So, initially I wrote a simple bash script that verifies a few things and prepares the environment. It is better, since I only write one line instead of three, but it's still annoying. Happily, recently at work, Denílson Ebling presented me a tool used for automating commands when you enter or leave a directory: direnv. Direnv allows you to write a bash script (and even use some custom built-in commands) to automatically prepare the environment when you enter the directory! And, of course, it "unloads" the env when you leave. All you need to do is write the script (some are already done in direnv documentation) and run "direnv allow". I used a simple python environment as example, but think about big and complex environments, where the incorrect order of the commands can really mess up something. Here is the direnv GitHub page: https://github.com/direnv

I would even add devenv with direnv: https://devenv.sh/ . That way you can declaratively define your project and dev environment.
