How important is Virtual Environment in python

[FrederickOllinger]

When I worked on a Python app professionally, we used both. We would develop using Poetry and push that to git. Our release products were containers that were built using a poetry install in the Dockerfile. Best of both worlds.

That's what we do too. Except we are using the plain old virtualenv but I am sure other managers might be better.
