  Simple Python version management

  

pyenv is a tool to manage Python versions. Other than the tools we discussed so far, it does neither help with managing virtual environments nor package management. However, pyenv is, of course, compatible with the other tools. pyenv can be a convenient helper for setting up development workstations. It is itself not dependent on Python itself so that it can be used to set up different Python installations conveniently and without root / Administrator rights.

  pip-run - dynamic dependency loader for Python

pip-run serves the same purpose as pipx. The only difference is that pip-run doesn't provide a persistent package installation but rather deletes all environments after the tool has been executed.

  The Python Package Index

  

Virtual Environments are isolated Python environments that have their own site-packages. Basically, it means that each virtual environment has its own set of dependencies to third-party packages usually installed from PyPI.
