Mention how NodeJS has simple package management while Python doesn't, you'll find the Python apologists explaining why somehow it was an impossible task for Python to do packages right for legacy reasons, even though they got to force a whole breaking 2->3 version change.
Also bring up the GIL, and you'll be told how Python is implementation-agnostic.
- majoe 3y agoPackaging is indeed a weakness of Python, but to be fair, that Python packages are frequently wrapping C, C++ or Fortran code makes packaging a lot harder compared to nodejs.
- hot_gril 3y agoThere are NodeJS packages wrapping C code too. Probably less common than in Python, but that's not really a reason Python packages are so annoying.
