This is the conventional wisdom these days, and a real thing, but unless you are admin challenged, running your local scripts with the system Python is fine. Been doing it two decades plus now.
Yes, make a venv for each work project.
- odie5533 2y agoIf you're just writing tiny scripts for yourself, sure use the system Python. If you're doing work on a large Python app for production software, then using system Python isn't going to cut it.
- mixmastamyk 2y agoThis is a restatement of my post with a restriction to tiny scripts. I don't restrict myself to _tiny_ scripts, some of my libraries are substantial. Keeping the number of dependencies reasonable is probably the most important factor, rather than lines of code.
