>The fact that the suggested solution in Python is to give every Python script a full copy of an entire specific Python runtime (via venv) is a mild annoyance as a design pattern...to me. It's not just a mild annoyance, it's a sad statement about python as a community of developers that this is not only accepted but recommended. I write python because some of what I do occurs in the domains where python makes the most sense, but the idea that the python community accepts venv rather than considering the fact that venv even exists at all to be a source of profound embarassment is mystifying to me.
