1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:15,840
So to start it, I'm creating the virtual environment directory using mkdir hello underscore env.

2
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:29,879
And then cd hello underscore env and python3 minus mvenv, that will create a directory

3
00:00:29,879 --> 00:00:35,000
structure that is needed for the virtual environment. As you can see, the venv directory

4
00:00:36,279 --> 00:00:39,320
and the three commands reveals all the things that are within.

5
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:45,160
So now the important thing is to source the virtual environment using source venv

6
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:54,360
slash bin slash activate. And now we can install the required module. So pip install

7
00:00:55,080 --> 00:01:01,240
colorama. And oh, a new version is available. Well, we don't need a new version. Feel free

8
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:07,000
to use pip install minus minus upgrade pip to install the newer version of pip. But for now,

9
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,279
we're good. Then I'm going to freeze the current requirements that have been used

10
00:01:12,279 --> 00:01:21,080
in requirements dot txt. And now it's time to write the script. Okay, so let's create the script

11
00:01:21,559 --> 00:01:30,440
and call it myscript dot py. And in the script as a comment, I'm keeping the name myscript

12
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:41,559
dot py. And then I'm starting by importing date time. And from colorama,

13
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:50,360
which we just installed, import four. So here we have an import of two functions. One of them

14
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:57,000
is an internal one. The other one is coming from the module. Now I'm defining the variable now.

15
00:01:57,879 --> 00:02:09,639
And now is set to date time dot date time dot now. Close it with opening and closing parentheses.

16
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:15,399
And then we can have the core of the script, which is using print four dot green

17
00:02:17,399 --> 00:02:26,600
plus f current time colon now. And I'm going to make a small typo so that you can see what

18
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:35,559
is going on if you have typos. So let's try to run it using Python on myscript dot py.

19
00:02:36,039 --> 00:02:41,720
And as you can see, Python is telling that something is not all right. It's telling us

20
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:48,520
that the not all right is on the closing double quote. So that's easy to fix. And obviously,

21
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,960
the closing double quote needs to be behind and not in front of the closing parentheses.

22
00:02:54,839 --> 00:02:59,080
So here we run it again. And there we can see that in nice green color,

23
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:04,279
it prints the current date and time. And that concludes our simple lab exercise.
