• How to Create a Python Virtual Environment on Ubuntu

  Python is one of the most popular and versatile programming languages in the world—powering tens of thousands of apps for Linux, Windows, and macOS.

And even if they’re fast on your computer, they may still be slow in your CI system (GitHub Actions, GitLab, or whatever else.)
