What is venv?

venv is a Python module that creates lightweight "virtual environments" with their own independent set of installed Python packages. These environments allow you to isolate project dependencies, preventing conflicts between different projects that might require different versions of the same packages. This is commonly used to manage dependencies for Python projects, ensuring reproducibility and avoiding global package conflicts.
