- dalke 14y agoTo give a specific example of what michaelhoffman wrote, I have multiple Python virtual installations because my full regression suite tests for about 12 different installation possibilities, including for nice error reporting if a given module isn't installed. There's no way to do that using the standard package managers, except by the much more complicated solution of having multiple OS instances available.
