Venv vs. Conda: Which to Choose

What's this blog post about?

Venv and Conda are two popular tools for creating isolated Python environments to manage dependencies and maintain consistent development and production environments. Venv is a module that comes preinstalled with Python 3.3 and later, while Conda is an open-source package and environment management system that supports multiple programming languages. Both tools have their strengths and weaknesses, making them suitable for different project requirements. Venv is ideal for simple, Python-only projects, whereas Conda excels at managing complex dependencies across multiple languages. By understanding the differences between these tools, developers can make an informed decision and set up their projects for success.
