At this point of time, I am not even sure if Virtual Environment should be used for Django. (Not mentioned in official doc, but mentioned in Django Girls.)

If not using Virtual Env, Docker should be used at the very least, I believe.

Also, I have never tried Conda, only bare minimum Python.

Why wouldn't you want to use virtual envs for Django? I use them regularly (at least, when not running in a container).

Just to say that, for some reasons, virtualenv is not mentioned in the official website.

At its core, the main purpose of Python virtual environments is to create an isolated environment for Python projects. This means that each project can have its own dependencies, regardless of what dependencies every other project has.
The great thing about this is that there are no limits to the number of environments you can have since they’re just directories containing a few scripts. Plus, they’re easily created using the virtualenv or pyenv command line tools.

Every project should have a virtualenv because every project has different version dependencies.

Believe me and just use the virtualenv, even with dev env in docker... Cuz you need to mount the volume of your venv to not install the dependencies again everytime you restart the container.

I used to use conda with a django project but when I wanted to make a requirements.txt file, it comes too many packages that you didn't want to be there.
Is there a way to fix that?

However, I now use pipenv which combine virtual environments and package manager for Django projects and kept ananconda for AI ones.
