If you have multiple automation projects that invoke Python scripts, you may eventually run into a situation where you would need to use different versions of the same Python libraries across different projects, but would need to share a common production environment. 

If you have a system-wide installation of Python libraries, this might cause the bots to break in production.

  

Using **venv** you can create lightweight “virtual environments” which provide the ability to have project-specific dependencies installed in a virtual environment, instead of forcing you to install your packages system-wide.

Using this custom activity, you can create a Python venv during runtime from UiPath, and then use this venv to run the Python scripts within the automation.
