I don’t get it, honestly. I have been using Python since 1.2 and never had this kind of problem since we moved to pip. That may be because I use virtualenvs and pyenv extensively, but even without that as long as you understand how pip works and where it places packages and binaries for a non-root user, it is mostly a matter of setting PATH in your shell (I do it with a conditional to see if .local/bin exists) and you’re done… I also have historically had very few issues with dependencies (other than lack of some OS libraries to rebuild a wheel when, say, I’m using Pillow on ARM and it needs to find libjpeg), and yet there is a constant stream of complaints here on HN… I wonder why. Would it be the OS? (I use Mac, Fedora and Ubuntu, and just sync my projects across all machines with local virtualenvs - everything runs everywhere, but I don’t use Windows for Python development) Is it specific packages? Complaints seem to be generic. Or is it just Eternal September all over again?
