What are the best practices for using venv and conda?

When using venv, it's best to create a new environment for each project to avoid dependency conflicts. For conda, regularly update your packages and use environment.yml files for reproducibility.

How do I create a new venv environment?

You can create a new venv environment by running python -m venv myenv in your terminal, where 'myenv' is the name of your environment.

What about managing dependencies in conda?

In conda, you can manage dependencies using the conda install command. It's also a good practice to create an environment.yml file to specify your dependencies.

Can I use both venv and conda together?

It's generally not recommended to mix them, as they manage environments differently. Stick to one for a project to avoid complications.
