uv and VSCODE how to use this on different machines and not break

 You have a system at the office and at home

You use uv to manage python projects and venvs

by default uv puts the interpreter in a hidden directory locally, on windows something like

'"C:\Users\cl\AppData\Roaming\uv\python\cpython-3.12.9-windows-x86_64-none\python.exe'   

This is butt, because only one machine will have this exact directory structure.

How to fix this.

delete .venv

uv sync    # uses uv.lock to see what you've already downloaded and recreate a working venv locally

next:

  1. Create a folder named .vscode in your project root (if you haven't already).

  2. Create a file inside it named settings.json.

  3. Add this configuration:

JSON
{
    "python.defaultInterpreterPath": "${workspaceFolder}/.venv/Scripts/python.exe",
    "python.terminal.activateEnvironment": true
}

After doing all of this vscode may still show squigglies like it can't find the right interpreter.
How to fix this.

ctrl + shift + p

find "developer: Reload window"

Enter.

Python POOP: "name mangling"--how to make class data private or public (odd in Python!)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cvFzLB6hbA they way Python OOP ("Poop") deals with private and public data in classes is strange indeed. by default all class attributes and methods are public (so, no encapsulation, of any kind, at all) There is no reserved words "public" private protected that the interpreter recognizes. To get around this python employs "name mangling": __x = 7 two underscores means the variable or method is private to the class. If you go outside the class and try to print __x you get an error. However, you can still see the value for this name-mangled variable:  _classname.__x  (one underscore classname, dot, two underscores, variable name) So it's not really private, it is psuedo-private.   Whatever.

MAKING SOME POOP==Python classes constructor and instantiating; class variables

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDa-Z5JzLYM    << intro video on POOP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ-VvGyQxho&t=1s << class variables. SYNTAX IS A BIT FUCKED UP FOR PYTHON POOP. Easiest way to get going: class Employee:     pass Constructor uses odd syntax "self". I hear self can be anything you want, not sure why they didn't use something like (UserInstantiated) Self can be anything but everyone uses self --we require attributes for firstname, lastname, and pay. class Employee:      def __init__(self, firstname, lastname, pay):          self.first           self.last            self.pay           self.email = first + '.' + last + '@piscesinc.com'      Once constructor is set, you instantiate: emp1 = Employee("charlie", "lamm",50000) emp2 = Employee("Bob", "Kaake",70000) To add a method--creating ful...
