I know it's just a meme but Python is seriously the worst language I have ever worked with. Not because of language itself, this is fine for scripting, but because of the terrible tooling. pip is the most unreliable package manager I've seen, packages installed system wide collide with what you're trying to install for you project, environment virtualization and version management is a mess with venv/pyenv and more doing same things differently (the standard can't decide on just one tool for that) and on top of that you have all the ruff/black/mypy and many more offering same features but not really with a new tools coming out all the time. I not a Python expert but even people I worked with that are were confused but all this. I haven't seen such a mess in any other language.

But have you tried conda? (It's so much worse)
