What are the benefits of using virtual environments in Python?

Using virtual environments in Python allows you to manage dependencies for different projects separately, avoiding conflicts.

Can you explain how they help with package management?

Sure! Virtual environments create isolated spaces for your projects, so each can have its own set of packages without interfering with others.

Are there any tools you recommend for creating virtual environments?

Yes! Popular tools include venv, virtualenv, and conda. Each has its own features and benefits.

How do I set up a virtual environment?

You can set up a virtual environment using the command python -m venv myenv, where 'myenv' is the name of your environment.

What happens if I forget to activate my virtual environment?

If you forget to activate it, your project will use the global Python environment, which may lead to version conflicts.
