Ah, but which of the five package management strategies are you religiously attached to? If it's conda then I know you work in data science, but if it's poetry then I know you work in OS packaging but don't actually write any Python! :very-intelligent:
I've had to support the infrastructure for some python projects, it's always been a huge headache from an ops standpoint in local dev, CI, and CD. Its target user demographic is data scientists rather than programmers and it really shows when you compare it to any other modern language (and quite a few older ones)
:crab-party: and Golang handle dependencies well by basically forcing you to do what you'd do with a Pipfile in python and then adding checksum validation to it (though the centralization of crates hosting for the former is shit)
Ruby's package management is great, honestly the gold standard. Honestly prefer Yarn/NPM to just about every Python package manager (poetry is ok because it's based on ruby's package management, but it's painfully slow because of how the pypi api is designed.) I've heard good things about Rust's too but haven't used that one yet.
Yeah, Python is like Ruby but the whitespace is loadbearing and the package management sucks
lmao loadbearing whitespace
I don't think I've used any language where the package management doesn't suck. At least it isn't Node.

is there actually a package management strat called poetry
:sicko-yes: https://python-poetry.org/
lol, just
requirements.txt. MaybePipfileevery so often.:agony-devops:
I don't use Python for anything professional if that helps.
