pip (with venvs, which is a built-in Python feature) covers 99% percent of all use cases. Yes, its dependency resolution could have been better, and lock files are nice (which can be emulated using constraints [1]) but I don't understand why people are so busy writing alternatives. I work on pretty sophisticated codebases on a daily basis and haven't used anything but pip.
