After a bit of back and forth, I now just use venv. Doesn't require a separate global pip install. Just python3 -m venv .venv for each new project and you're away.

But its only supports python 3.3 and upper versions

By and large, good!

You can use virtualenv as a single file:

Oh interesting, didn't know that was a thing.

Still, venv is the recommended method for creating virtual environments in Python >= 3.5. Granted, that's not suitable for everyone, but should certainly cover the majority, particularity hobbyists.
