It is a bit more of a pain to work with than similar features in other languages. Like as far as I know you can't just move a venv, you have to rebuild it in the new place. Whereas `node_modules` is just a dir. Also, there is a weird layering where venv abstracts away installed eggs/wheels/whatever they're calling them these days, but then since that's still painful to work with, you need another layer on top like virtualenvtools or burrito or whatever it is. (Sorry, it's been a couple years so my memory is fuzzy)
