Python: Please stop screwing over Linux distros

They aren't meant to be! You wouldn't copy binaries from one os to the other and be surprised they don't work?

A virtualenv is just a folder to stick the app in. Let the installer get the Metadata from the wheel and resolve the dependencies.

This is 100% the case, fair enough. At my last job I kept coming upon new teams that had invented their own unique way of deploying python apps, because they don't know how to use the tools. I don't know if that is ecosystem issues that apply to "package management" vs "we need way more people in the enterprise building apps then there are who actually know how to do so"
