• pipenv vs Poetry vs Conda

pipenv

pipenv is a wrapper around pip that also creates and manages your virtual environments. It has similarities to conda.

conda

if you’re using python for data science and all the things you plan on installing are in conda its pretty good, particularly for installing really complicated dependencies with lots of random binaries

Tools

• Bootstrap with crispy-forms (to generate Bootstrap forms)
• Pillow for images
