Virtual Environments
--------------------
Pipenv & Virtual Environments
-----------------------------
A Virtual Environment (commonly referred to as a 'virtualenv') is a tool to keep
the dependencies required by different projects in separate places, by creating
virtual Python environments for them. It solves the "Project X depends on
version 1.x but, Project Y needs 4.x" dilemma, and keeps your global
site-packages directory clean and manageable.
The next step it to install Pipenv, so you can install dependencies and manage virtual environments.

For example, you can work on a project which requires Django 1.10 while also
maintaining a project which requires Django 1.8.
