How do I connect to a remote Emacs instance?
However, you can use various network technologies to log in to the remote computer, attach to an emacs server running there and display the emacsclient’s screen locally. Depending on the operating system that is used the networking could be done via SSH (terminal/X-Forwarding), VNC, RDP etc.

Which is the best virtualenvwrapper for Emacs?
It really simplifies the process of getting a good environment up-and-running, and it is modular so you can deactivate sections over time when you decide you want a more tailored package. You may also want to take a look at virtualenvwrapper.el, although Pyenv looks like it has more functionality.
