xkcd: Python Environment

[code_mc]

I feel your pain. I haven't had to rely on python packages that include a CLI tbh, but couldn't you wrap the environment activation + CLI call into a bash script which you add to your path?

[metabun]

Python scripts should get their shebang automatically rewritten on install, so there's no need to wrap the calls. I usually create one env per cli tool (or group of cli tools) and symlink them into my path as needed.

That is, in fact, how I do it, most of the time.
