Could you say more what you don’t like about venv compared to how other languages do it?

  Just store your deps in project directory instead of using hidden fucking magic.

    The good news is they're working towards encouraging a standard .venv in project directory. https://peps.python.org/pep-0704/ https://peps.python.org/pep-0704/

    The hidden magic is adjusting env vars used by python, LD, etc. Adjusting paths only seems like magic until you understand what it’s doing. I’ve done with with plenty of languages including C/C++

      Yes I know how it works but try explaining that to someone learning flask at a boot camp.

        I mean I wouldn’t expect someone at a boot camp to understand this nor was this a topic of conversation, so /shrug?
