0🌟 **Episode 16: Streamlining Initialization with New Scripts** 🌟
In this episode, we take a significant step forward in refining our Prompt Development Environment (PDE) by deprecating the old `initialize.bat` script and introducing three new scripts: `check.bat`, `install.bat`, and `activate.bat`. These changes aim to streamline the initialization process and enhance user experience.
Our agenda includes:
- **Deprecating `initialize.bat`**: Phasing out the old script in favor of a more modular approach.
- **Introducing `check.bat`**: This script will verify if the correct version of Python is installed on the machine. It will be the first script called before displaying any loading window in our PDE.
- **User Prompt for Python Installation**: If the `check.bat` script detects that Python is not installed, it will prompt the user with a dialog asking if they would like to install Python 3.9.13. If the user selects "No," the application will quit.
- **Implementing `install.bat`**: This script will handle the installation of Python if the user agrees to proceed.
- **Activating the Environment with `activate.bat`**: Once Python is installed, this script will activate the virtual environment, ensuring all dependencies are correctly set up.
