Using venv for a development environment

Development
1

@comeng , @codefarmer , and anyone else uses a venv as their development environment:

Are these instructions complete? Do you do anything additional, or differently? (For example, nothing is said about environment variables; do they need to be set differently in the dev environment?)

Are you able to run both versions of Gramps (your regular installation and your dev version) simultaneously, without one affecting the other in any way?

Do you do anything to make your dev version look different when it’s running (color, fonts, etc.)?

Anything else that I don’t even know I should be asking about?

Thanks very much for any additional guidance.

(FYI, my environment is Debian 13 “trixie”.)

If you are running Trixie then you do not need to set up venv unless you
have something else you use and wish to protect that from any potential
GRAMPS issues
I am running GRAMPS 6.0.6 with no venv on Trixie quite happily.
