a newer version of python_How do I update a Python virtual environment with `venv` to use a newer ve...

问题

I have recently installed Python 3.8.0 alongside Python 3.7.4.

I have some virtual environments (created using python -m venv that are based on v3.7.4. How do I update them to use v3.8.0?

Do I need to create a new virtual environment and reinstall the dependencies, scripts, etc.?

Note: There are some existing Q&A's (such as this) that deal with the older virtualenv package/tool. I'm specifically asking about the new built-in venv module, which is a standard built-in to Python since v3.3 and has some differences from virtualenv.

回答1:

I guess what you're looking for is the --upgrade parameter.

python -m venv --help

usage: venv [-h] [--system-site-packages] [--symlinks | --copies] [--clear]

[--upgrade] [--without-pip] [--prompt PROMPT]

ENV_DIR [ENV_DIR ...]

Creates virtual Python environments in one or more target directories.

positional arguments:

ENV_DIR A directory to create the environment in.

optional arguments:

-h, --help show this help message and exit

--system-site-packages

Give the virtual environment access to the system

site-packages dir.

--symlinks Try to use symlinks rather than copies, when symlinks

are not the default for the platform.

--copies Try to use copies rather than symlinks, even when

symlinks are the default for the platform.

--clear Delete the contents of the environment directory if it

already exists, before environment creation.

--upgrade Upgrade the environment directory to use this version

of Python, assuming Python has been upgraded in-place.

--without-pip Skips installing or upgrading pip in the virtual

environment (pip is bootstrapped by default)

--prompt PROMPT Provides an alternative prompt prefix for this

environment.

You need to run it with the targeted python version, for example in this case:

python3.8 -m venv --upgrade

Assuming that python3.8 is the name of your python 3.8.0 executable.
