I agree. This doesn’t seem like it’s going to fix dependency management in python, just replace the existing problems with arguably greater ones. For example, this seems like _terrible_ behavior. Even more, it’s inconsistent with the philosophy behind the new change that installing dependencies shouldn’t create conflicts. > This also means that, when you run a pip install command, pip only considers the packages you are installing in that command, and may break already-installed packages. It will not guarantee that your environment will be consistent all the time.
