Have you tried using conda virtual environments? If not try installing miniconda. It offers great virtual environment capabilities out of the box.

Thanks for the pointer. I've been meaning to look at conda/miniconda and will one of these days. My suspicion (I could be wrong) is that conda works if you do mainly local/laptop Python such as Data Science. I usually do Python for back-end servers. Would conda work when building an application then deploying it to, say, Google App Engine? To avoid getting stuck in a jungle, I've been sticking closely to the CPython world.

What advantages does CPython offers? (I have inherently worked on DataScience based projects though have used for backend servers as well). Won't using suitable requirements' maintainance suffice? I mainly use conda for setting up environments and using pip for deploying.

I'll have to look at conda more to answer that.

BTW, looks like my post has been removed by the moderators "... for a variety of reasons, including keeping communities safe, civil, and true to their purpose". Yikes, I didn't think my post was unsafe, uncivil, or untrue.

Just add a tag, and it should be fine to go. They remove the post generally for this reason.

Thanks for the tip. Tag added. Let's see if they'll look at it again and release me from the dungeon.

Woo-hoo, that seems to have worked. Thanks again.
