I'm looking into virtual environments on the Raspberry Pi.
I see that Pimoroni installs it in `~/.virtualenvs/pimoroni`
I also want to create the venv as the user level, but I am wondering if `.virtualenvs` is a standard I just didn't know about?
I was going to install under `.venv`

@gadgetoid ?

@scruss @CleoQc @gadgetoid 'uv' defaults to .venv.

@CleoQc @gadgetoid everyone seems to do it their way. pipx puts them in ~/.local/share/pipx

@jxyzn
Interesting, thanks. It seems to be undefined and can become messy quite quickly.

@scruss oh my, they use .local??? so not standard!

A lot of pkgs are installing to a local with the product name e.g. ~/.gopigo3/ with apps to /usr/bin or a local/bin

And using a “product onboard” option to finish the setup

@CleoQc @scruss @gadgetoid I looked into python virtualenvs at the beginning of the year. after much study and reading said "sod that" and went back to using COBOL instead

@CleoQc .local is one of the raft of standards to choose from. But virtualenvs make me sad and tired because so many are needed to do stuff that used to work.

@CleoQc I use `virtualenv`, everyone else be damned!
