Random Virtualenv Creation with Selected Package

The code defines a function to create a virtual environment based on the virtualenv library and randomly select a third-party library to install. The code first randomly selects a library name, then creates a virtual environment, activates it, installs the selected library, and finally activates it.

Technology Stack : The code uses the virtualenv library and related technologies. It involves random package selection, virtual environment creation, activation, package installation, and deactivation.
