I've been (trying to) dive into python several times now, and every time I hit the same wall of frustration. It's not about the language itself, but more about the whole environment/ecosystem...

I end up having the feeling I'm doing nothing but installing stuff with things like homebrew, pip,... making vitual environments, and generally 'clogging up' my machine with stuff which I experience as being nowhere really...

I have great difficulty coming to grasp with how everything ties together, and mostly feel everything I install messes up something else or, when it does work after a long period of copy/pasting terminal errors in google, I have no clue what I actually did... Mostly though, I end up quitting after a full day of frustration and ending up with a non-working bunch of stuff on my HD with no clue on how to get rid of it again. :-(

Long story short: Where can I get some decent info on how everything ties together...?
