Setting up or installing into a Python environment. One rule applies whether or not you read the body - the environment belongs with the project, so create it inside the project directory (.venv) or let uv manage it, and never in a scratch directory like /tmp and never by forcing an install into the system interpreter. Load the body before creating a virtualenv, choosing an installer, or writing run instructions for a Python project.

# Python environments

The environment is part of the project, not scratch space. A user who opens the
project tomorrow, or clones it on another machine, should find the environment
where their editor, their tooling, and their habits expect it.

## Where it goes

Create it **inside the project directory** — `.venv` at the project root is the
convention nearly every editor and tool auto-detects:

```
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
