I'm not a pythonista by trade but use it in some side projects and often find myself fumbling around. I'm comfortable using bundler for ruby and yarn/npm with node, and have even used some sbt with scala but for some reason I've always found the dev workflow with virtualenv (and now pipenv) painful...

I've actually tried to work around some of this by falling back on docker to manage dependencies in one place and not worry about it, but that's not a solution as modern text editors like vscode expect to be able to resolve packages locally, and the hints they give to the api are valuable.
