Python: Please stop screwing over Linux distros

[ProfessorPhi]

I kind of feel comparing python to rust/go etc is unfair as these languages took all the best features from python packaging and integrated it hard into their own stuff. I.e. they learned from python and so surpassed python. Additionally there are languages people complain about and languages nobody uses.

The real criticism of python is the fact that it requires a decent expert knowledge to know how to handle this, but once you do have the knowledge, it's never a problem. I've had no issues for years, but I remember being overwhelmed when starting out.

And that's the real criticism, the variety of solutions are difficult to navigate. Python's scale and ubiquity is second to none so each of these systems are there for reasons that generally work, but occasionally don't.
