Venvs also suck because the user has to create and activate them. It would be nice if a foo.py file could just deal with all of that. A while ago I created this thing as a thought experiment. It likely doesn't work with more recent version of python though: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24735303 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24735303 It was partly in jest but I was not entirely un-serious; I think "dealing with dependencies" is quite possibly the biggest reason why Python isn't used to distribute end-user applications. It's a wonderful language but a really shitty import system. There are various attempts to make the experience better (pipx, poetry) but you still can't ship a .py file to someone, have them double click and run it. They still have to conda something, venv something, pipx something.
