I'm guessing npm also has a nice luxury that nobody writes core parts of the operating system in JavaScript. Versus, one of Python's bigger challenges with environment management is that you need to come up with an environment isolation mechanism that won't also interfere with the operation of the OS itself, or cut you off from being able to use userland tools that rely on it. Which. . . Python being an essential part of virtually every production system out there being one of the root causes behind a situation that makes people feel skittish about its appropriateness for use in production is a fun thought. It's a particularly delightfully Unixy brand of ouroboros.
