I don't understand why it even uses virtualenv, when venv is a) part of the standard library, and b) the recommended way to create virtual environments in Python.
While the import from __future__ indicates that it's supposed to support Python 2, the shebang line is explicitly Python 3...
- nitroll 6y agoOne big reason is that ubuntu splits out venv into its own package basically "breaking" python. People then don't know about the venv module and continues using the virtualenv, both due to this preceding venv, and because that is usually the word used to describe the concept.
