Update info on virtual environments in Python chapter

[bouweandela]

The Python chapter currently mentions venv and conda/mamba for managing virtual environments. However, there are many other tools out there that may be a more suitable and modern solution, here are a few that I am aware of:

• uv
• pixi
• conda-lock
• micromamba
• pdm
• poetry
• hatch
• pipenv
• pyinstaller

We may also want to mention using lock files to create reproducible environments

If you know more or have an opinion, please comment

I tried a bunch of these some months ago and liked uv most. Didn't try pixi yet, I like that concept as well. I wrote some notes about it actually, I can dig them up...

Ah, my writing was actually just a stub, but anyway, for a small new project, I tried on 25 November successively pipenv, then hatch and finally uv. I found uv more convenient than the others.
