Python 3 Virtual Environment Update

Question

I installed Python 3.5.1 on top of 3.5.0, and now I want to update the virtual environment to use 3.5.1, but I cannot find an easy way for this. It looks like I will have to remove the virtual environment and then rebuild it using the new version of Python. Does anyone have an easier way to do this?

Answer 1

For a minor update (3.5.0 → 3.5.1 or more in general, where only changes zin x.y.z), you do not need to do anything.

Virtualenv in a subdirectory binhas a symbolic link to the Python executable as follows:

python -> python3.5
python3 -> python3.5
python3.5 -> /usr/bin/python3.5

/usr/bin/python3.5 3.5.0 3.5.1, virtualenv Python.

(x y x.y.z), virtualenv.

pyvenv ( Python 3.3), --upgrade:

, Python, , Python .

... . , pyvenv python3 -m venv Python 3.6.

virtualenv, , - virtualenv Python, pip install -r requirements.txt.

, requirements.txt . , , virtualenv, pip freeze --local > requirements.txt Python virtualenv.
