Blaming Python vice Linux distros isn't important. The implicit agreement that a system Python will be set up in a certain way, with a certain version etc is fragile. Programs and processes included with a Linux distro expecting a certain Python set up is a problem - it's making assumptions about system state. Python doesn't include tools for managing versions, dependencies, and standalone programs. Linux distros use programs depend on it despite this. At the core of this is implicit cooperation between system programs, third party programs, and users. This concept underlies a common frustration with Linux: It works reliably out-of-the-box, but customization and installing programs introduces problems. I wrote a Python dependency and version / installation Manager in Rust to help deal with this sort of thing, as well as related issues like dep conflicts between Python projects.
