I agree with the author that using standard pip and virtualenv etc. is fine. I feel like people want software with massive guard rails that they can just prod at until it does the right thing with no danger of it doing the wrong thing. That's not been my experience with working with computers or any other machines and it won't get you very far as a software engineer. The Python tools are really powerful and flexible but you need to learn how it works. Just a little bit.
- crabbone 3y agoUsing pip is not fine. It's broken it way too many ways. Using virtualenv is just a really, really weird choice. The only reason anyone today would use virtualenv is because they want to support Python 2.X. Not that I think there's anything wrong with Python 2.X, in fact, I'd personally take it over 3.X any time... but I doubt this is what you had in mind.
- bigstrat2003 3y agoI definitely agree. People are always going on about "oh it's so bad in python", but it's really not. Pip + venv works great and is all you need.
