I read some articles about using a virtual environment in Docker. Their argument are that the purpose of virtualization in Docker is to introduce isolation and limit conflicts with system packages etc.

However, aren't Docker and Python-based images (e.g., python:*) already doing the same thing?

Can someone eli5 this whole thing?

Are you referring to https://hynek.me/articles/docker-virtualenv/ ?

not exactly.

Does Hynek's article convince you?

yes, but will need some more practical usage to fully grasp.
