Questions

As we conclude, here is a list of questions for you to test your knowledge regarding this chapter's material. You will find the answers in the Assessments section of the book:

  1. What is the main reason why you should always use a virtual environment for your Python projects?
  2. Do you need to or should you place the virtual environment folder (that is, venv) under version control?
  3. Why create a requirements.txt file?
  4. You need to run a Python script as the root user. What step must you take to ensure that the script executes in its intended virtual environment context?
  5. What does the source venv/bin/activate command do?
  6. You are in an activated virtual environment. What is the command to leave the virtual environment and return to the host shell?
  7. You created a Python project and virtual environment in PyCharm. Can you work on and run the project's Python scripts in a Terminal?
  8. You want a GUI tool to edit and test Python code on your Raspberry Pi but do not have PyCharm installed. What pre-installed tool that comes with Python and Raspbian could you use?
  9. You've advanced in your Python and electronics knowledge and are trying to hook up a device using I2C to your Raspberry Pi but you cannot get it to work. What might be the problem and how do you address it?
