Also consider using Conda - to replace and simplify use of venv and pip. http://stuarteberg.github.io/conda-docs/_downloads/conda-pip...

I agree 1000%! I honestly could not imagine using Jupyter without a virtual env. I don't worry about anything related to Python / virtual envs since I started using the Anaconda distribution. Further, every sciency tool is at my fingertips with almost ZERO configuration on my part...

If I had to vote on: "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." for Python dev, I would choose Conda so hard.

How do you develop new packages? I think conda-build develop is not maintained

the develop command in conda-build is indeed not really kept up. From https://github.com/conda/conda-build/issues/1992#issuecommen... :

Instead, I recommend creating whatever environment you want, activating it, and then running python setup.py develop or pip install -e . so that your package is installed in develop mode in that environment.
