It's overstated that that works everywhere though, it certainly doesn't in Python. That's why we've got pip, conda, virtualenv, pyenv, etc. for version and package manaegemnt.
- int_19h 6y agopip + virtualenv fully solve this problem - maybe not in the most comfortable way (which is why there are all those extensions and alternatives), but certainly way better than anything C++ has - and they ship with Python.
- physicsguy 6y agoIt's not even possible to install every python package (and it's dependencies) using pip, which is why Conda exists.
- int_19h 6y agoIf some package is available in the Conda repos, but not in PyPI, that's down to its author choosing to support one but not the other. Ever since wheels became a thing, I can't think of anything reasonable that's impossible to do via pip when it comes to packaging a library.
