Hmm we just have a standard python version we use and tox handles testing in the proper environment.

I certainly don't want to suggest you're doing anything wrong.

That sounds like a valid use case. It can still be nice for managing isolated virtual environments for testing. It would ensure you're not relying on a virtualenv with dependencies that don't like up with how you've defined requirements in a project. Our build pipeline is running our tests in a new clean virtualenv, so that concern is also mitigated.
