People who do a lot of #Python and also understand what node_modules is: do you [almost] always use a virtual environment of sorts per project, so that you can use dependencies without installing globally, like one would do with node.js and npm install without using -g?
It looks to me like that's the right way, but I see many places that advise global installing and even sharing a venv across folders. I wonder if I'm missing some use case or if people just like playing with fire 🤔
