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's really... never been this serious of an issue for me?<p>I have used virtualenv/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't really seem that hard. I've published a few packages on pypi for my own personal use and it'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've tried.<p>Is the "silent majority" just productive with the status quo and getting work done with Python behind the scenes? Why is my experience apparently so atypical?
