This looks interesting. Haven't tested it yet though. One has to wonder about the development power behind it and as such the sustainability.

Also:
Python 3.6 and newer have a built in way to handle virtual environments, so maybe we wait until we upgrade from 2 -> 3

pyvenv is deprecated as of Python 3.6 and the new way is:
python3 -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment

Apparently Python 2.7 will be deprecated on January 1, 2020, so it looks like we'll need to upgrade to Python 3.x / Django 2.x this year.

Have you had a look at this recently?

Been 2 years since we last discussed, and maybe a 'best practice' has been formed in the Python community?
