May I introduce you to our lord and saviour, Nix and it's most holy child nixpkgs! With only a small tithing of your sanity and ability to Interop with any other dependency management you can free yourself of all dependency woes forever!
[] For various broad* definitions of forever.
[*] Like, really, really broad**
[**] Maybe a week if you're lucky
- benatkin 2y agoThe Nix of Python, conda, was already mentioned. > add about as many quality problems as they fix
- MadnessASAP 2y agoI used to have 1 problem, then I used Nix to fix it, now I have 'Error: infinite recursion' problems.
- p_l 2y agoExcept python builders in nixpkgs are really brain damaged because of the writers ways they inject search path which for example breaks if you try to execute a separate python interpreter assuming same library environment...
- MadnessASAP 2y agoWithin the holy church of Nix the sect of Python is troubled one, it can however be tamed into use via vast tomes of scripture. Sadly these times can only be written by those you have truly given their mind and body over to the almighty Nix.
- p_l 2y agoIt's not as bad as Common Lisp support which stinks to high heavens of someone not learning the lessons of the Common-Lisp-Controller fiasco
- MadnessASAP 2y agoLisp is of the old gods, only the most brave of Nix brethren dare tread upon their parenthesised ways.
- chpatrick 2y agoNix is really the best experience I've had with Python package management but only if all the dependencies are already in nixpkgs. If you want to quickly try something off github it's usually a pain in the ass.
