11 Introduction
12 ------------
13
14 ``virtualenv`` is a tool to create isolated Python environments.
15
16 The basic problem being addressed is one of dependencies and versions,
17 and indirectly permissions. Imagine you have an application that
18 needs version 1 of LibFoo, but another application requires version
19 2. How can you use both these applications? If you install
20 everything into ``/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages`` (or whatever your
21 platform's standard location is), it's easy to end up in a situation
22 where you unintentionally upgrade an application that shouldn't be
23 upgraded.
24
25 Or more generally, what if you want to install an application *and
26 leave it be*? If an application works, any change in its libraries or
27 the versions of those libraries can break the application.
28
29 Also, what if you can't install packages into the global
30 ``site-packages`` directory? For instance, on a shared host.
31
32 In all these cases, ``virtualenv`` can help you. It creates an
33 environment that has its own installation directories, that doesn't
34 share libraries with other virtualenv environments (and optionally
35 doesn't access the globally installed libraries either).
