It's extremely annoying. The reality is, python can deploy or isolate any way you'd like, but because there isn't one canonical way to do it, everyone comes up with their own system. My best guess about why this is the case is because python is over 30 years old, so they've reinvented the packaging wheel (ha, .whl) four of five times, leading to massive confusion.
