It’s kind of crazy how problematic pip is, though. There are enormous ecosystems like conda, poetry, arguably Docker all built around “pip not working right.”
I see so many people want to install vllm or something with like a 95% crash and burn rate if they aren’t already proficient with Docker, complete with the spare disk space to basically ship a whole other machine.
Meanwhile, massively complex Rust or Go or whatever packages… just work. With the native tooling, for me.
To be clear, I like Python, and I believe many issues can be smoothed with time (like improving its JIT and maybe encouraging more typing in codebases). But pip and its ecosystem are forever cursed.
