Yes the article mentioned venv. And the parent said it's hard to choose. But the choice is easy: just use the basic built-in one. (Until you have a reason to use something else.)

It's a good general philosophy for software engineering: don't add stuff without good reason.

Individually they can help with particular problems you may have, but together they make a mess, and distract focus from the particular purpose of your software.
