Nanobox Desktop Published as Alternative to Python virtualenv Tool

LEHI, Utah - July 21, 2017 - PRLog -- The Python language ships with a tool called virtualenv that is used by developers to manage multiple projects by isolated the Python development environments for each of their separate projects.

Nanobox's recent release of its new programming platform includes a Nanobox Desktop component that acts as a containerized (using Docker) alernative to virtualenv. Nanobox is now marketing its local development environment product to the Python developer community as not only a replacement for virtualenv, but also as a complete dev-to-production workflow tool that includes features for local development, automated deployment to various cloud hosting platforms (including existing support for AWS, DigitalOcean, and Linode), and a production management component that allows developers using Python and other web development languages (including popular and trending languages such as PHP, Ruby, Elixir, and Go) to do health monitoring and scaling of their production applications.

For Python developers interested in subsituting Nanobox Desktop for virtualenv, Nanobox has created guides for creating generic Python apps on Nanobox (guides.nanobox.io/python/) as well as for geteting setup on the popular Python frameworks, Django (guides.nanobox.io/python/django/) and Flask (guides.nanobox.io/python/flask/)
