So does pretty much everyone. The problem is with setting up virtual environments and managing packages.

So much more harm than good is done trying to get new users to use virtual environments. Just get them started with straight up python, tell them that the solution to “couldn’t find X” is always just to type pip install X in a terminal and leave them to it. They’ll figure out the rest long before it becomes relevant and they won’t have need for it until long after they figure it out.
