Also you need to have the following installed.
Create the project
To create the sample project to the following:

We don’t want to use Application base or Dependency injection:
Do you want to use application base? (y/n) n Do you want to use service providing? (y/n) n
The ouput should look like this:
Creating sample-project/LICENSE done Creating sample-project/README.md done Creating sample-project/src/tests/__init__.py done Creating sample-project/appsettings.json done Creating sample-project/src/sample-project/__init__.py done Creating sample-project/src/sample-projectmain.py done
Open the project with an IDE like VS Code or PyCharm
Set the ‘src’ directory as source folder
Run the application
You should see an output like:
Hello World
In PyCharm you have to enable
Emulate terminal in output console
!
