- psunavy03 1y agoWhen would you want to interface between a specific project and the global Python environment running your system? If there's ever a time when "lock the project into a venv and don't cross-contaminate its dependencies with the global Python environment" isn't the answer, that sounds like a corner case. Let each project be its thing by itself.
