PyCharm virtual environments are an important but challenging topic. We recently hosted Bernat Gabor to discuss this, as well as his rewrite of virtualenv, the hugely-popular command-line tool for creating virtual environment. The recording is now available.
This was a very engaging webinar, with lots of questions, and many thanks to Bernat for taking the time to give thoughtful replies.
