Overview of Python dependency management tools
People always get up in arms about this, but as someone who has used Python as her daily driver for years it&#x27;s really... never been this serious of an issue for me?<p>I have used virtualenv&#x2F;venv and pip to install dependencies for years and years, since I was a teen hacking around with Python. Packaging files with setup.py doesn&#x27;t really seem that hard. I&#x27;ve published a few packages on pypi for my own personal use and it&#x27;s not been too frustrating.<p>A lot of the issues people have with Python packaging seem like they can get replaced with a couple shell aliases. Dependency hell with too many dependencies becomes unruly in any package manager I&#x27;ve tried.<p>Is the &quot;silent majority&quot; just productive with the status quo and getting work done with Python behind the scenes? Why is my experience apparently so atypical?
