I don't really write Python, but I occasionally find myself having to use tools written in it.

So Docker won't work (unless I do some scuffed mounting to let it access my working files, which is suboptimal regardless) and I can't be bothered to juggle venvs just to rip my Spotify playlists.

    Juggle? Just creat a venv in the working directory of the script, and throw it on when you run it. It's really bad form to run against the "local" install.

    Or consider something like direnv, which does setup and virtualization when you cd into the directory. Very easy to set up and you never have to activate manually
