> It's been at least 2 years since I've run into a issue with python and dependencies that wasn't solved by both of those approaches. The problem is that this leaves us with 2 years of documentation that's reliable and addresses easily-solved problems, and 28 years of everything else that will confuse anyone new to the language. Not ideal when accessibility is one of the language's primary selling points. One of the major problems with fixing design choices or odd behaviours in software is that all of the old threads and posts don't just disappear, and people are now going to be lead down paths that are not only so convoluted and ridiculous that they were eventually changed, but often paths that don't even work any more. It's very very tough to fix that problem retroactively.
