What does that have to do with venvs? I agree the packaging and distribution setup in python is an absolute mess, but that's entirely unrelated to venvs. It's like bringing up how python uses whitespace instead of curly-braces.

I think the GP comment might have caused some confusion since it mentioned both package management and venvs very close together.

venvs are the recommended workaround for the fact that python packaging and distribution is a mess of global state. Lanugages with working packaging and distribution don't generally bother with anything venv-like.

  Sure, but that's like 99% pip. Venvs are patching it (quite effectively), not causing it.
