It's not the way I remember. At the beginning you got Python with the batteries - and it was awesome - but for everything else you were on your own, and sometimes it was nightmarish. There was no pip, not even setuptools. Today I can install anything I want with one command on any of the 3 major platforms. Granted, there are glitches and we're accustomed to rapid progress now, but it's easy to forget how far we got.
