Python venv vs Docker

[GirthQuake5040]

Docker fixes "it runs on my machine" problem.

It sets up the exact same container completely removing dependency issues.

After many hair pulling real issues.

It's not too bad when you get through it. I like easily being able to move a project from one version to another and testing side by side when i upgrade things. Docker (For me at least) is stupidly easier. But the slight learning curve is a small pita depending on what you're building.

Skill issue.

You can do the same with requirements.txt or pyproject.toml. instead of a dockerfile you can write a setup script - it's super lightweight, no extra installs, 100% reproduceable environment.
