How Python virtual environments work
I'm surprised at the number of people here complaining about venvs in Python. There are lots of warts when it comes to package management in Python, but the built-in venv support has been rock solid in Python 3 for a long time now.<p>Most of the complaints here ironically are from people using a bunch of tooling in lieu of, or as a replacement for vanilla python venvs and then hitting issues associated with those tools.<p>We've been using vanilla python venvs across our company for many years now, and in all our CI/CD pipelines and have had zero issues on the venv side of things. And this is while using libraries like numpy, scipy, torch/torchvision, etc.
