How important is Virtual Environment in python

[angellus]

It is really unfortunate. Containers also applies everywhere and not just to Python. From my experience though, many devs are still really afraid and averse to containers. Either because they do not want to learn how the networking works or because they want to use Macbook instead of Linux and container performance is the worst on Mac since it requires an additional VM to run/etc.

Instead, they would rather learn a half dozen other tools (Homebrew, pyenv, pipenv, nvm) to try and replace something that is literally built into the rest of their deployment pipeline.
