The preferred environment for Python development and deployment changes more than the latest trend in JavaScript frameworks.

The basic tools (pip and virtualenv) have been the same for years. Posts like this are about layers that people have built on top of the same underlying tools. There's a lot of them, but that's because different people have different preferences, not because those preferences are changing over time. There's no need to chase the latest trend here (if indeed there is a trend).
Nope it's been virtualenv for at least 3 years.
I've used it continuously for 6 years.
Yeah I've done so for three - I'm happy enough with it and confident enough to recommend it that I didn't bother to look up how long it's been around for..
it is not really. now it is python3.X -m venv which is still virtualenv but again a different implementation with different bugs
