Technical requirements

In order to proceed through this chapter and the rest of the book, you will need the following:

• An installed and working Python interpreter. I’ll be using the latest from https://python.org.
• Installed copies of pip and virtualenv. You get these automatically when you install Python on Windows, and MacOS has them included on every system. If you are using Linux, you need to install the package managers, such as pip, and virtual environment tools, such as virtualenv, separately. Our examples will use pip and virtualenv.
• An installed and working copy of PyCharm. Installation was covered in Chapter 2.
• This book’s sample source code from GitHub can be found at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-Application-Development-with-PyCharm---Second-Edition/tree/main/chapter-04. We covered cloning the code in Chapter 2, Installation and Configuration.
