Thanks for explaining this.

I learned https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html is built into
Python 3's standard lib, and it has a subset of features compared to
https://pypi.org/project/virtualenv/ . It sounds like we have some
work to do to switch Ceph and other upstream projects away from using
virtualenv.
