Python the language is wonderful, as are the libraries that exist for it. I don't know, it just seems to make things even worse for me because now even 'which python' doesn't tell me anything because it directs to some shell script shims that I can't parse or understand. Some OSS projects suggest using things like pyenv to help. * Platform has ubiquitous and wonderful package manager (Homewbrew)Īnd yet, 90% of my interactions with Python via the CLI involve it crashing because the version that the current thing I'm trying to compile or execute wants isn't the one the OS happens to be vending for it. I develop on a Mac where in theory everything should be easier: I know just enough to get myself into trouble. I'm a developer who's never had to ship serious production systems with Python, but I have had to modify the occasional library or open source package.
