Suppose I'm starting a new Python project. Its root directory at the beginning looks like this (for this example it would be a Flask project, but the question applies to any Python project):
myproject
static
templates
I want to use virtualenv to create a virtual environment for my project. Where should I create the directory to hold this virtual environment? Should it go inside the root directory of the project, like so?
myproject
static
templates
env
.gitignore # ignores env
Or should I put the env outside the root directory, like so?
myproject
static
templates
env
What is the standard way to do this?
