Virtual environments are key to keeping your Python projects clean and organized. Nicholas Tollervey from Anaconda’s PyScript team shares why virtual environments are every developer’s sandbox. Using venv or conda, you can safely install packages without cluttering your system — keeping each project isolated and repeatable. Conda’s curated channels add another layer of trust, ensuring you’re always using reliable tools. Keep your code tidy and play with Python in a sandbox. 🪏🪣
