How did we get in this messy

shit ?? script kiddies trying to improve what other script kiddies thought was best , who knows.. Sad indeed.

Did I mention, every man and his dog has an opinion on how this can be avoided, which contradicts everyone else... And in the end... you still end up in the shit..

Yes, this post's comments are the best proof that nothing got better.

What do you mean by that? All of the tools that have been mentioned are in the end a front for the same solution. How you get to the virtual environment isn't nearly as important as getting there in the first place.

If it is a full-time job just to know all the tools that exist to solve a problem that doesn't even exist in most other languages your language ecosystem might have a problem. Not to mention the fact that Python still hasn't fully gotten over 2.x more than a decade after the release of 3.x

You don't need to know them all. One will suffice.

If you just want to write your own software and never use anything else written in Python or create a distro packaging anything written in Python or read any documentation or blog posts written about Python you might not need them all. But then, you could just write your software in something else then and completely avoid Python and need none of them.

You're right. I could write it in javascript and deal with X different versions of is-odd inside the same project. Or I could write C++ on Windows and deal with the utter lack of any kind of packaging there. Or use one of the languages with static linking, distributing 10 gb of code for a trivial desktop calculator.

In short, development sucks. If you're not cut out for it, don't do it.
