Having gone through the nightmare of setting up tensor flow with cuda, I can't help but think you're letting that color your view of python as a whole.
Tensorflow, cuda, and nvidia were a nightmare that took me 5 days to resolve on ubuntu 18 since it was my first time setting it up ever. There was literally no working guides or people posting with my exact issue, but tons of posts about other people having a nightmare of a time.
In the end I figured out I had to go find this one file/library nvidia had moved around between versions of drivers/cuda even though documentation suggested they hadn't and I was using the versions that were supposed to work fine. In the end, fixing it was either by setting an environment variable because the default path was wrong or editing the path in a config file. I'm not remembering which now.
- dnautics 6y agoI dunno, I think the problem is not having a project-specific location for your deps. Obviously you want global deps for a console scripting language, but if you are doing any sort of bigger project, having a global deps location (which is implicitly resolved by the language, no less) is unacceptable for reproducible development for larger projects today. The env hack that python managers like conda and venv use is, IMO, extremely dangerous, because it's hiding state. These days I use languages that don't do this for my daily drivers, it's better for my sanity.
