Snark/not-snark: what about those languages where the fans still don't like the tooking? (looking at you, pip)
- anothernewdude 5y agoWhat on earth is wrong with pip? I've used it in some of the most constrained environments possible, and it has been fine except for one small window where trusted-host wasn't possible.
- RangerScience 5y agoI think I remember there being a lot of hubbub over the pip/venv standard setup, which is (part of?) what prompted conda. I also seem to remember more than a few attempts to make a new Python dependency manager over the last 5-10 years.
- adgjlsfhk1 5y agohave you ever tried installing tensorflow with gpu support? to be more explicit, pip does a really bad job with versioning binary dependencies.
- ColonelPhantom 5y agoPip being good or bad aside, Python does have a very extensive ecosystem. It's very well equipped for many tasks, from machine learning (numpy/scipy/etc) to website creation (Django). I don't really like Python, but I have to admit that those tools are very convenient.
