I guess I should clarify something: 1) I pip install everything locally inside my own $HOME for that set of things I need generally and will not be using in a venv. 2) I pip install everything I need in each venv, even if it already exists under 1) above. I effectively treat venvs as fully self-contained environments to the degree possible. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
