virtualenv

We have hosted the application virtualenv in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about virtualenv:

virtualenv is a tool to create isolated Python environments. Since Python 3.3, a subset of it has been integrated into the standard library under the venv module. It creates an environment that has its own installation directories, that doesn�t share libraries with other virtualenv environments (and optionally doesn�t access the globally installed libraries either). The basic problem being addressed is one of dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions. Imagine you have an application that needs version 1 of LibFoo, but another application requires version 2. How can you use both these libraries? If you install everything into your host python (e.g. python3.8) it�s easy to end up in a situation where two packages have conflicting requirements.

Features:

• Create isolated Python environments
• Integrated into the standard library under the venv module
• Create an environment that has its own installation directories
• Doesn�t share libraries with other virtualenv environments
• Doesn�t access the globally installed libraries

Programming Language: Python.
