I ran into many of these same problems when trying to replicate ROS environments five years ago. It's not Python's fault, it's just academics being bad at releasing software. After all, why would they? In a university, ten steps to replicate the PI's personal environment is perfectly fine. How would releasing a single binary make their life any easier? Why would they bother?
