I think GP means `python3 -mvenv my_venv` rather than running in a VM or any heavyweight virtual environment. At least that's how I interpret 'virtual environment' in a pythonic context, and they're certainly lightweight enough.

What I took GGP to be talking about though was lightweight in terms of cognitive load. Like "can I just run the thing please!" aka yak shaving [0]
