virtualenv是一个创建python独立运行环境的工具。类似的工具还有pipenv, venv。
独立运行环境带来的好处是多个项目开发，依赖module隔离，可以依赖同一module的不同版本，清理环境更加彻底。
virtualenv 安装
pip install virtualenv
创建虚拟python环境
[root@sam tmp]# virtualenv python-project
New python executable in /tmp/python-project/bin/python2
Also creating executable in /tmp/python-project/bin/python
Please make sure you remove any previous custom paths from your /root/.pydistutils.cfg file.
Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...done.

(python-project) [root@sam site-packages]# deactivate
[root@sam site-packages]#
- virtualenv python-project: python-project是虚拟环境根目录
- source bin/activate: 进入虚拟python环境，之后相关的python操作都是针对此虚拟运行环境
- pip install requests: 虚拟环境安装requests module示例
- deactivate: 退出虚拟运行环境
删除虚拟环境
[root@sam tmp]# rm -rf python-project/
