Using a virtual environment creates a self-contained sandbox for your project, ensuring that the specific libraries and versions you install never conflict with other projects or your global system. This prevents "dependency hell"—where updating a tool for one app accidentally breaks another—and guarantees that your code remains stable and reproducible no matter what else is installed on your computer.
