Python's virtual environments

Python Poetry
  1. Python packaging and dependency manager.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Poetry is a tool for dependency management and packaging in Python. It allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on and it will manage (install/update) them for you. It also allows you to specify the Python version and the Python interpreter to use. Poetry is particularly popular in the data science community, as it provides a simple and powerful way to manage dependencies and package your projects. This tool is really similar to npm in the JavaScript world, or cargo in the Rust world, and it is a great way to manage your Python projects. You can find more information about poetry at https://python-poetry.org/.

  2. 2
    Binary package manager with support for environments.
    Conda is an open-source package management system and environment management system that runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is a powerful tool that allows you to create and manage virtual environments, install and update packages, and manage dependencies. Conda is particularly popular in the scientific computing community, as it provides access to a wide range of scientific computing libraries and tools. I suggest to have a look at the official documentation at https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/ to get started with conda. An important thing to note is that conda has its own way to install packages through the conda install command, which is different from pip. This is because conda manages its own package repositories, which are separate from the Python Package Index (PyPI). This means that some packages may be available on conda but not on PyPI, and vice versa, anyway conda can install packages from PyPI as well using the pip package manager.
