I use pip inside docker and it just works.

  If by "just works" you mean "now I also need to have and maintain a container image for isolation", yes.

    There is nothing to maintain. I bump python in the dockerfile if I need to bump it for some reasons, otherwise there is no reason to change anything and it indeed just works. Takes like 2 min of work once a year. I can rebuild an image from 5 years ago and deploy it on multiple OSes and it will probably still work.

      >There is nothing to maintain. Yeah, just install a root-owning Docker service, run everything in a virtualized container, write the dockerfile -- "nothing to maintain".

        It's actually easier on Mac and Windows, because it runs Docker inside QEMU and it installs the whole toolchain in a single app bundle. I'd pay good money for a Linux equivalent, setting it all up manually is a pain.

          Can't you also run the QEMU virtual machine on linux?
