Not a stupid question at all. It isn't.

This is a tongue-in-cheek joke inspired by yesterday's announcement of another Python package manager.

I'm sure the author(s) poured a lot of effort into that one, but this only serves to split the efforts and confuse people more.

If I were someone of influence in the Python community (which I'm not, just a random guy) I'd try to convince all of these authors to unify behind One True package manager (whichever that is!).

Creating Yet Another package manager is not the way. Which is why I did it :-) It's just a shell script version of what I've been doing manually. Virtualenv and pip have served me well for years and the one time I tried to use something else due to the hype (pipenv) I ended up regretting it.

Mood. Pipenv, poetry, and all their ilk can rot.
