>“This project needs package X” >I mean how hard can that be to get right in a self-contained environment? Okay, I’ll bite. What version of package X does it need? Is there a specific version that’s been tested with this project and is known working? Are there specific versions of its dependencies that have been tested and are known working? Is it needed at runtime or only at build-time? What repository can it be found in? PyPI is not the only Python repository; private repos are common. And as a bonus cherry on top: how easy is it to make sure you have all the project’s dependencies installed in the venv for that project, and that you don’t have packages you’re not keeping track of? This is a UX thing, but developers are human and it matters.
