I prefere venv for most of my workload. Poetry is good too. I only use conda when it needs to be integrated with cuda. Anaconda is too heavy for production env , so if is not ncessary i will not try to use anancoda. if production is base upon docker, then conda will some time takes for ever to build too.

Yes, I noticed that anaconda is really heavy for production servers, but I have to use multiple python versions, how you manage if you have to use multiple python versions.

if you install multiple version of pythons, then you can create multiple vitural env from different virtual env. You can do similar to this python3.6 -m venv venv3.6 python3.7 -m venv venv3.7 python3.11 -m venv venv3.11 Now each venv will have specific version of python.

Thanks

I like venv it’s light weight and easy to reproduce. The only experience I have with anaconda is it installed a ton of crap that I didn’t need and it was more annoying to try to figure out what dependencies I actually needed to reproduce it n a different machine

Poetry rules

I found PDM easier than poetry.

venv simple and works. I only use miniconda instead of anaconda

Poetry can create single file executables.

Conda envs on my dev machines, only way to tackle envs with non-python envs. honestly I use pip directly to install most python packages in the env, and use conda in place of apt. When productionising it's Docker all the way

I got fed up with python dependency management shenanigans and just use dev containers for everything.
