Try the ActiveState Platform today.

Still haven't signed up for the ActiveState Platform yet? Here are some key features that might make you give it a try: Python for Web Dev A new runtime environment for Python Web application developers is now available under the Featured Projects & Languages tab in the Curated section. It contains:  Popular frameworks like Django, Flask and Bottle. Useful tools including Dash, WebOb and Selenium. Common utilities such as PyMongo, requests, httplib2, and many more. In other words, everything you'll need in a single, cross-platform runtime environment so your whole team can get up and running quickly.   Get it for Windows, Mac and Linux Mac CLI Support The ActiveState Platform's CLI, the State Tool, now supports macOS. To get started, you can download the State Tool and install a version of Python into a virtual environment with the following two commands:   sh <(curl -q https://platform.activestate.com/dl/cli/install.sh) state activate ActiveState/ActivePython-3.6   NOTE: macOS 10.15 Catalina users may receive a warning when you try to install the State Tool, which does not yet conform to Apple's new notarization requirements. To work around this issue you'll need to use the System Preferences > Security & Privacy window's General tab. Simplifying Jenkins Pipelines In this blog post we'll show you how to use the Blue Ocean plugin in combination with ActiveState's State Tool CLI to make the creation of a pipeline in Jenkins vastly easier than what you may be used to.   And if you've ever you've wrestled with reproducibility issues, this post will introduce you to a method that simplifies the setup of build environments by making the runtime environment perfectly reproducible not only on individual developer machines, but on CI/CD and production machines, as well - all without introducing new artifacts to manage.
