Python has built in tools for managing virtual environments ([venv](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html)) and packages ([pip](https://pypi.org/project/pip/)). However, we will not cover these tools today. While venv and pip are very useful for managing pure python packages, they are not very flexible when we want to use packages which are built on other languages (or perhaps do not use python at all). Another tool, [conda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/index.html), has been built to extend their functionality to cover these mixed-language packages for a wide range of computing platforms, and it is this which we will cover today.
