How Python virtual environments work

> virtualenv venv

That would be python2, in 3 it's "python -m venv venv" (first venv is package to run, second is directory to put it in)

Otherwise yeah, it's the same and I also use it manually. Never had any problems.

`virtualenv` still exists and is still actively developed. It's true that Python 3 ships with `venv` but I think `virtualenv` offers some additional features.
