I find myself in nightmarish scenarios with Python dependencies more often than I'd like to. This dependency is missing this wheel which is missing this bit of C tooling which needs system-level permissions to be installed through XCode on Mac (what?). I've somehow corrupted the package lock, now I'm looking at diffs and checking dependencies of dependencies, inspecting the virtual environment folder and questioning my life choices. PyCharm has somehow lost the sense of where the virtual environment is located, I now have a squiggly line and warning explosion in my IDE. You could argue many of these are not Python's fault, some can probably be attributed to carelessness on third-party and tooling devs or on my part. But let's invent a metric here: "% of time spent dependency troubleshooting over total programming time". I've had better experiences with this in other languages, and intuition tells me that my carelessness or that of third-party devs being equal, there is something not quite right about the Python dependency management story. I put up with it because like many others I think that the language is otherwise dope.
