The Python community is obsessed with reinventing the wheel, over and over and over and over and over and over again. distutils, setuptools, pip, pipenv, tox, flit, conda, poetry, virtualenv, requirements.txt, setup.py, setup.cfg, pyproject.toml… I honestly can’t even list all of the things you have to deal with. It’s a disaster.
