# virtualenv / venv

`venv` is Python's built-in tool for creating isolated virtual environments. Each environment has its own Python interpreter and installed packages, preventing conflicts between projects. `virtualenv` is a third-party alternative with additional features. Virtual environments are a best practice for keeping project dependencies separate.
