Virtual Enviroment Setup
- Python Docs
- Command used to install a virtual environment with the chosen python version
  - C:/Users/"USERNAME HERE"/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python310/python -m venv ./.venv
  - or, when the correct version of python ist already installed on the host
  - /python -m venv ./.venv
- venv needs to be activated with this command
  - . .venv/Scripts/activate
- "terminal.integrated.inheritEnv": false, → needs to be added to the settings.json of vs code. So it doesn't use the Python environment of the current system.
