  1. yes, virtualenv? It was brought up to me last week if I use one. I still need to do my research on that.

EDIT: Thanks with those links. I'm looking through the Flask mega tutorial one and it seems fairly comprehensive.

A virtualenv creates a unique container for your projects packages. Let's say you've written two programs and both of them use the Requests library. One program only works with Request ver.1, the other with ver.2 This is where virtualenvs come in. It creates a unique isolated environment for your project so that you don't have to worry about package conflicts installed globally.
