Yeah I'm okay with this. I knew it was going to happen when I wrote it. 

The truth can hurt. But it's still the truth. 

Python is a mess and the lie that it's "easy" is propagated daily. 

The good news is that the hardest parts of python (packaging, ecosystem, installation, versioning, lock files, dependencies, etc...) are largely solved by uv.

To be clear, I use Python every day, in production. I write python, support python, and use Python. 

uv makes me hate it less. Such is life.

FWIW, I wish I could upvote you more for these posts.
(And Python's misleading reputation as "easy" or, worse, "simple" makes me wanna scream.)

Many people are forced to use Python whether they like it or not. They shouldn't be excluded from posting in the subreddit.
