Bootstrapping your Local Python Environment
summary
Concrete setup and reproducibility rules: avoid using the system Python and no sudo installs, manage interpreters with pyenv + venv/virtualenv, use pipx for isolated CLI tools, generate hashed requirements with pip-tools, and build images with multi‑stage Docker so the same hashed dependencies install inside the container. Demo shows distinct virtualenvs with different requests versions and a Docker build that runs Python and imports requests successfully, giving repeatable, isolated environments.
