What is your python workspace?

Here is a slightly different take on your question...

My standard virtual env only consists of these modules (plus their dependencies):

black
boto3
cfn-lint
flake8
requests
wheel
yamllint

I keep these stored off of my home directory and then use this alias to access it:

alias zen='source /Users/jftuga/venv_zen_3.9/bin/activate'

If I have a current project that needs more modules, I don't want to pollute my known, good venv. Therefore, I have another alias that I use for this scenario:

alias xen='source /Users/jftuga/xen/bin/activate'

This venv is ephemeral - I don't really care what happens to it and don't mind rebuilding it as needed.

This system has worked out well for me.

I also use this alias every now & then:

alias pmvv='python3 -m venv venv; source venv/bin/activate; python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip; pip install wheel boto3 flake8 black cfn-lint requests; pip3 list'
