I think the title deserves a (2018), which I estimated by explainxkcd history https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=1987:_Pytho...

Recently, people report that uv (https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) really makes a difference in Python tooling and puts poetry and of course anaconda unnessecary.

I love Python the language, but the stuff around it is ....

Years ago, I was Python-curious but gave up on it when I couldn't get "import" to find a second source file.

Nowadays the Python powers-that-be seem to spend more time DEI-ing it than doing the important stuff.

I tried learning Python recently to move away from .NET. Wish I hadn't spent so much time reading about the language before actually trying to do a real world project. That environment and pip stuff is terrible. Where did they get the idea to do that? No other language I've come across has tooling that ridiculous. I switched to Go instead.
