Yes, i wasn't clear: it's the polars library that's actively changing, so that might be the issue, or just the vast set of optional components configurable on installation, which isn't the normal package manager experience. FWIW i think i share your general aversion to _not_ using packages, just for the tidiness of installs and removals, though i'm on fedora and macos.
