In terms of tooling Python is a mess. Poetry is indeed quite good, but it still has issues.
I think what python misses is things like cargo, go and npm (dare I say it..), tools that handle packages and run your app in context, making that things generally just work.
Might be anecdotal, but I have had way less cross platform/binary issues in other languages. For node things are usually handled very well these days, rust just compiles stuff (or great docs with clear instructions).
It’s not just environments, it’s formatting, linting, types.
I think python used to be ahead in usability, in the last decade it has fallen behind a bit.
It’s still a good language to use because it can do so much, but I can’t say the experience is enjoyable.
