Can `PermissionError: [Errno 13]` arise due to issues with Python virtual environments, and if so, how do I address it?

Yes, it can. Permission errors can occur if you try to create a virtual environment in a restricted system directory without sufficient permissions, or when `pip install` tries to write packages into the virtual environment's `site-packages` directory, but that directory (or its parent) has incorrect permissions. To address this: ensure your user has write permissions to the directory where you are creating or installing into the virtual environment. Always create virtual environments in user-owned, non-restricted directories, typically within your project folder or home directory.
