@kitten a virtualenv is a folder that contains a bin/python, bin/pip, lib/site-packages...

using the bin/python of a virtualenv, your imports will look at lib/site-packages of that virtualenv

using the bin/pip of a virtualenv operates on the lib/site-packages of the virtualenv instead of the system's one

that way you can install the dependencies a project needs without interfering with the global python installation

@kitten ...no, it makes little sense to use virtualenvs if your global installation is already unique to your project. if you're using a devcontainer you can skip the virtualenv entirely
