| [[https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/ | virtualenv]] is a tool for creating self-contained, isolated Python environments. This allows developers to use different versions of libraries, dependencies, and even python itself on a per-project basis. A virtual environment consists of several utilities and helper scripts installed inside of a directory and be "activated" prior to use by running a command that modifies several environment variables like $PATH to point to the versions installed inside of the virtual environment. | [[https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/ | virtualenv]] is a tool for creating self-contained, isolated Python environments.
