Python Environment Setup

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_pc in 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.
