A Python virtual environment, put simply, is an isolated working copy of Python which allows you to work on a specific project without worry of affecting other projects. You can have multiple virtual environments on your system, all having their own specific (versions of) packages available. The virtualenv package provides the basic needs, but virtualenvwrapper makes life a bit easier.

 More information on installation and use can be found in the documentation:

virtualenv

install with:

pip install virtualenv

virtualenvwrapper

pip install virtualenvwrapper

Use virtualenvwrapper-win on a windows system (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenvwrapper-win). Install with:

pip install virtualenvwrapper-win
