If it's worth sharing it's worth to accompany the blog post with a repo containing unittests and tox.ini and pre-commit
If that had been done, tox would give feedback that match switch support is py310+
functools.singledispatch
might be helpful to test multiple implementations
Complaint about sharing code within a blog post is the quality is ALWAYS suspect.
Lets leave crapoverflow.com style code examples in the past. Instead share tested code.
U are not wrong.
Dependency management is tough and often frustrating. Dealing with resolving dependency conflicts is unavoidable. This area is a constant focus of development, so could see improvements over time.
Some packages to keep an eye on:
pip & setuptools
pip-tools (specifically pip-compile)
https://pypi.org/project/pip-compile-multi/
poetry
Any others i've missed?
