		INTPenis on Dec 6, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why I hate virtualenv and pip To both commenters so far I would like to say PEP-370, a new way since 2.7 to create virtual environments. I started using it recently and I see no need for virtualenv anymore. I have nothing to say about the pip issue though, never had an issue with pip myself.

Back in 2009, Jesse Noller wrote about his experiences with PEP-370 and seems to have felt that it is an improvement on the status-quo and a complement to virtualenv but not a replacement:
