What do you refer to by saying Python is an exception? I haven't used anything but different language and package versions on a per-project basis since around 2007. I had some project with deployments on client servers where their sysadmin insisted on having everything installed as os packages, but this at least from my perspective hasn't been the norm for quite a while now.
Not to say that I like the Python package management story.
