Leave with `deactivate`. Enter the environment again with ``` source lbry-venv/bin/activate ``` When developing, we can start the server interactively. ``` python lbry/extras/cli.py start ``` Parameters can be passed in the same way. ``` python lbry/extras/cli.py wallet balance ``` If a Python debugger (`pdb` or `ipdb`) is installed we can also start it in this way, set up break points, and step through the code. ``` ipdb lbry/extras/cli.py ```
Because of issue lbryio#2769 at the moment the `lbrynet` daemon will only work correctly with Python 3.7. The `deadsnakes` personal package archive (PPA) provides Python 3.7 for Ubuntu distributions that no longer have it in their official repositories like 18.04 and 20.04. If Python 3.8+ is used, the daemon will start but the RPC server may not accept messages, returning the following: ``` Could not connect to daemon. Are you sure it's running? ```
Remove the first space in the block of code as it is not necessary. This ``` $ python --version ``` Becomes this ``` $ python --version ``` Also break the big block of code into individual blocks.
