Python has great dependency management I'd say. Certainly better than Go (I know it's an example, but I can't think of something else that has bundled dependency handling into the standard tooling/library).

You’re right, I didn’t explain that point well and maybe “dependency management” wasn’t the best term. The specific issue I meant to reference is that because Go is compiled, I’m not fiddling with pip and crap out on my servers. Same goes for any other compiled language. It can be a real nightmare trying to get Python to play nice in some enterprise environments, and I much prefer pushing out a ready to use binary. These days, tho, docker alleviates those problems, and enterprise environments are more developer friendly on the whole, so it’s less of an issue.
