Hi Dave, thank you for this amazing video! For my project, I need to setup venv in a python 3.11 version on Mac. In order to complete the setup, I also need to disable condo. How should I do that? I do not want to uninstall Anaconda on my Mac. Also, without condo, can I still create a python environment with a specific version to allow me to work on my project? Thanks in advance.
