Python tooling is in a very sorry state in general. The language has drawbacks. What I wrote was not meant in defense of Python at all, but rather a criticism of what the author said about Docker and the fact that he expects it to fix his Python (or Ruby or Perl) woes. He goes on to suggest that somehow these languages put the programmer closer to the OS than C, which completely ludicrous since most reference implementations of them are written in C - making the language effectively one layer above it. I get the argument about concurrency but that's pretty much the only thing he has to offer there. Everything else is just someone who doesn't understand the tools blaming the tools themselves and wishing he was using something else. The fact that he thinks "Docker is supposed to protect us" from dependency management issues is ludicrous.
