I've escalated your thread so an administrator can do this for you.

Thank you!

It looks like it's solved but I can't find any python package in my account.

What are you planning on using the virtual environment for? Not sure how it got marked as solved. Maybe the solved button got clicked instead of the escalate.

I have some ideas, a website that works with an external llm api, maybe a chat bot, I want to try a few things and let it running for a while, some quiet🙂

You do realize that python has no user interface in plesk, right? It just works. See https://wiki.helionet.org/Python and https://wiki.helionet.org/Python_Tutorial

There's nothing to activate unless you need a virtual environment for stuff like custom module versions (which is what Krydos is talking about).

Does your website use Flask or Django?

[miguelm]

Krydos: I'm going to use Flask
wolstech: Thank you for clarification.

Virtual environments for Flask don't work on Morty, Tommy, or Johnny. So you have a few options:

1. Use Python CGI instead of Flask. CGI can use a virtual environment on Morty, Tommy, and Johnny.
2. Use Flask and request the modules you need installed globally.
3. Switch to a VPS plan where you have root SSH access to create as many virtual environments as you want. https://heliohost.org/vps/
