At least it circumvents https://xkcd.com/1987/ https://xkcd.com/1987/ to some extent. It sometimes feels like half the [python] questions on Stack Overflow are from persons confused about how and where packages get installed and what Python they are actually running.
- boublepop 6y agoIt doesn’t circumvent anything, it just adds another place that people can potentially be confused. Now you have your site packages in a Linux file system in a container you need to fiddle with, and so you install your packages there in a virtual env? Do you use cobra? Etc. Not saying docker isn’t a good solution sometimes, but if you just want to manage local python dev environments venv will get you through it with far less complexity and far less confusion.
