alt Hacker NewsIs Python still that bad? I remember the big problems were during the Python 2 -> Python 3 transition, but in the last few years I've managed to get away with a single Python install and haven't really had any compatibility issues.
I stick with Python.org packages for macOS, and the official Python packages on Ubuntu, and everything seems to work just fine.
There are better tools for managing the madness, certainly. uv makes python management almost pleasant (sandboxing the whole environment by default is a wise choice).
