Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I’ve never found myself in a situation where venv did not do exactly what I needed it to do.

The problem there is that by default a virtual environment version of Python is just a symbolic link to the actual binaries installed elsewhere on the machine. If you do an OS upgrade or do anything that increments the system Python version, it could cause problems in the environment.
