7.6. Environment Management

7.6.1. virtualenv-clone: Create a Copy of a Virtual Environment

Sometimes you might want to use the same virtual environment for 2 different directories. If you want to create a copy of a virtual environment, use virtualenv-clone.

The code below shows how to use virtualenv-clone.

$ pip install virtualenv-clone
$ virtualenv-clone old_venv/ new_venv/

$ source new_venv/bin/activate

Link to virtualenv-clone.

7.6.2. pip-autoremove: Remove a Package and Its Unused Dependencies

When using pip uninstall, you only remove a specific package.

!pip install -U pandas-profiling[notebook]

$ pip uninstall pandas-profiling[notebook] -y

!pip uninstall pandas-profiling[notebook] -y

Found existing installation: pandas-profiling 3.1.0
Uninstalling pandas-profiling-3.1.0:
  Successfully uninstalled pandas-profiling-3.1.0

Wouldn’t it be nice if you can uninstall that package and its unused dependencies? That is when pip-autoremove comes in handy.

!pip install pip-autoremove
