Validating Python

Let us validate Python on Ubuntu VM that is provisioned.

  • By default, Ubuntu 18.04 VM will have Python3 installed. You can run python3 and launch Python CLI.

  • However, there might not be additional important modules such as pip, venv etc.

  • We need to validate and ensure that they are installed. If pip and venv are not installed you can install them using these commands.

sudo apt install python3-pip -y
python3 -m pip install configparser

sudo apt install python3-venv -y
python3 -m venv testing
ls -ltr
rm -rf testing
