It's a choice - use what works best for you. They all collect the packages from the same place by default.

- woojoo666 4y agoThe issue is that because there was never an early community consensus on a package management system, I come across github projects that don't declare dependencies at all, and I have to look through the code to figure out what to install. This never happens with, say, javascript projects. And people know this is an issue in python, which is why we have Poetry now. So at least in terms of dependency management, I would say Python is less stable than Javascript
- harel 4y agoThat sounds like some a case of a random repo by someone who didn't do anything for public consumption. This is not a norm and I don't think you can judge the Python ecosystem by this case just as one cannot judge the JS world from one rouge package or a package that contains a one liner. I work a lot with both python and javascript and the points you raise just don't seem applicable. Neither are more "stable" than the other. They are what they are - cons and pros and all that.
- woojoo666 4y agoI'm not calling python less stable overall, just in terms of package management, as a counterexample to OP who was saying that python is more stable than javascript
