vsc-venv
is a script that encapsulates the creation and management of Python virtual environments.
This avoids multiple issues with the default venv
included in Python (python -m venv
).
One issue is that a virtual environment created for one cluster might not work on another.
Additionally, when activating a virtual environment,
the same centrally installed modules used during its creation must also be loaded.
The vsc-venv
command manages multiple virtual environments for different clusters in a transparent way,
while guaranteeing the same module environment.
