Thats why venv exists. Much better solution than lock files.

For everyday scripting -- the types of things where I'd be writing in bash but get frustrated with it and switch to python -- I nearly always only need what's in the stdlib.
Sure, for "applications", the ecosystem can be frustrating at times, but I don't think that's what we're talking about here.
