(still in development) +Using a 32-bit version of Python is recommended to build a version to be distributed. + A [virtual environment](https://packaging.python.org/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments/#creating-a-virtual-environment) is recommended to isolate the packages from system directories.
