This seems very "Anaconda's a mess, so here's this one weird trick" then suggests a foot-gun. Arguably step one is: https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/

This seems very "Anaconda's a mess, so here's this one weird trick" then suggests a foot-gun. Arguably step one is: https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/uninstall/ https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/uninstall/ Or for miniconda: https://gist.github.com/pulkitgangwar/421a1af800c5a9c6d4a77b1c252f4565 https://gist.github.com/pulkitgangwar/421a1af800c5a9c6d4a77b... Then, adopt `uv` instead, for all your Pythons: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/ https://docs.astral.sh/uv/ The 2024-08-24 update finally does "all the things" — unified Python packaging: https://astral.sh/blog/uv-unified-python-packaging https://astral.sh/blog/uv-unified-python-packaging . . . PS. I noticed this original article's subsequent blog post gets into "env as code" but for "one tool to rule them all" one may want to consider a tool such as `mise` instead: https://mise.jdx.dev/about.html https://mise.jdx.dev/about.html

  It's licensed MIT and Apache 2.0. The community can fork it if it ever becomes an issue.

  Yet. You have no idea what Astral’s other (future) plans include. For example, what if they are working on all this tooling so they can start providing “verified, reproducible Python packages” as a service, to mitigate against supply chain attacks? Telling people not to use Astral’s products because they are VC-backed is silly, especially since everything they’ve done so far is permissively licensed.

I think your suggestions are for people who know more the students I meet in the classroom.
