Virtual Environments

Use cases for Virtual envs:
- Ensure code dependencies don't change between apps
- Create isolated environments that can be deployed on multiple machines.
- Better practice than using the root python install.

- For example, virtualenv ./django-tut
Using conda use, conda create -n django-tut
