There are many ways you can organise your projects in Python. One of them uses virtualenv and pip. They let you work on several projects simultaneously while they keep environments of each project separate. This way, each project can keep its own set of Python dependencies with different packages and different versions of packages.

This is a follow-up to the last article on virtualenv and pip.
