Can't say I'm a fan of this one. I get the idea, but I don't like the execution of this. It's a very myopic view of python package management; python packages are also often just used to distribute complete applications (ie. youtube-dl), not just libraries. This is one of the reasons why pip nowadays warns you if you do a sudo installation to site-packages and otherwise defaults to user; binaries need to be installed to the right place and all this will likely end up doing is further mangling the amount of PATH fiddling necessary to get those packages working. I also don't like that we're getting yet another expected reserve name for virtual environments. Originally it was virtualenv, then it became venv and now it could end up being .venv. Python's package management could use quite a bit of work, especially with versioned dependencies co-existing, and venvs are a useful solution to that but this isn't the answer.
