title: Python venv and virtualenvwrapper combined
body: <p>In Python 3.5 the recommended way to create virtual environments is with the <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html" rel="noreferrer">venv</a>, instead of <a href="https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/" rel="noreferrer">virtualenv</a>. Still the <a href="https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/#creating-virtual-environments" rel="noreferrer">python packaging tutorial mentions both tools.</a></p>
  
  <p>However <a href="https://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/" rel="noreferrer">virtualenvwrapper</a> is a recommended wrapper tool to use when using virtualenv.</p>
  
  <p>My questions are then:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is there a way to use virtualenvwrapper with venv?</li>
  <li>Or could one even consider virtualenvwrapper not needed due to venv? (I cannot see how this could be true since it is a wrapper solving
  another problem)</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I can see that there is some confusion in the answers to my question. venv is Python's official equivalent of virtualenv, as explained in the links above. Multiple stack overflow questions suggests that venv should be used. As mentioned in the "duplicate" you suggested:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>the introduction of venv is in part a response to that mess. If you want to help improve the situation, I suggest you use venv and encourage others to do the same</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So it is encouraged to use venv. But as this questions implies, if one is to use venv how does one use a wrapper like virtualenvwrapper</p>
