Create the Environment with a Unique Name
- Instead of the generic .venv, give your Windows environment a name that clearly identifies it. In your project's root terminal, run:
python -m venv .venv_pc
- This creates a new folder named
.venv_pcin your project. Your existing Mac folder(e.g., .venv or .venv_mac)will remain completely untouched.
Set VS Code to Use the New PC Environment
- You must tell VS Code on your PC to use this specific folder instead of the one from your Mac:
-Press Ctrl + Shift + P to open the Command Palette.
- Type and select Python: Select Interpreter.
- Choose the one that points to your new folder:
('.venv_pc': venv).
If it doesn't appear, select Enter interpreter path... and browse to .venv_pc\Scripts\python.exe.
