Building apps with virtual environments in Spyder (venv)

[Mark Kortink]

Hi, i am new to python and spyder but not to programming. I have built a few apps using Spyder to teach myself python. I now want to build an app that uses flask and virtual environments.

I use Anaconda and have the latest versions of everything.

What is the right way to include virtual environments in an app being built using Spyder as the IDE?

In particular I believe (but could be wrong) that the app folder needs a subfolder to hold the fixed versions of packages and dependencies, how do i create that and get Spyder to use it properly?

Regards

Mark
