Virtual Environments - Organization (VS Code)

[deanhystad]

I have a venv for just messing around with Python. It is what I would use to test code I would write in response to a forum post. It slowly grows to have a lot of installed packages, but that is ok. The mess is isolated, and I'm fine with deleting that environment and starting over. For real work on more substantial projects, I create a venv dedicated to each.

Each and every project that I have, uses it's own virtual environment.
I also use pyenv, so that I can have many versions of python, and each project can have it's own version.
This allows for legacy software to still function, which is a plus when wanting to upgrade.
Incremental backup's are much easier this way as well.
