Yes.

No the point is that is that OS Python installation and virtual environment is completely separate.
Quote:If I create a directory and activate a virtual environment inside it and then use PIP to install some packages.
It's one operation with build in
venv,also it will create the folder.
# Make
G:\div_code
λ python -m venv new_env
# Cd in
