When I tried learning Python, this mess is what turned me off so badly. Python is the first language I ever came across where I felt like Docker was necessary just to keep the mess in a sandbox.
Coming to that from hearing stories that there was supposed to be one way to do everything disenchanted me quickly.
- shaklee3 4y agopython has had virtual environments forever now. what was it missing?
- brightball 4y agoEvery article I found suggested different versions of Python, like Anaconda. They all suggested different virtual environments too. Rarely was an explanation given. At the time, the mix of Python 2 vs Python 3 was a mess. The code itself was okay, but everything around it was a train wreck compared to every other language I’d been using (Go, Java, Ruby, Elixir, even Perl). I attempted to get into it based on good things I’d heard online, but in the end it just wasn’t my cup of tea.
