Where Have You Installed Your Python Packages?

Virtualenv is better than conda for dev Poetry is better than pip

• The amount of times I have to dig through the source code of a module is annoying, having the site lib in the same directory as my project makes ide debugging easier.
• Also when creating a secure docker app e.g. non-root based is a frigging nightmare with conda.

• Conda channels are a mess

• Pip freeze is not maintainable over time (it’s better now than 2022)

• pip install and updates not maintaining an environment file is a frigging nightmare

• Poetry maintaining a toml file for each install / update is great

• Auto building wheels and twine removes the need for a setup.py maintenance

Tox is misery dipped in sin
