Why is it that every python project I come across seems to not even want you to use it.
The deployment always sucks, you get some random ass errors because some parts are in python 2 instead of 3 I guess. If there's a C library involved it most definitely won't work. What the fuck is conda and why do I need it to install software?
Where is the documentation to build a release yourself if the public ones don't work?

    I have only tried to use conda once and I ended up just electing to build all the libs I needed from source instead lol

    Conda is apparently like venv
    But it’s more like a package installer as well

    Python as a whole just seems like a mess to me. People idolize it as this amazing thing that can do anything, but when it is made to do something I find it does it… poorly, maybe I don’t understand it well enough. It feels like it does too much for me, and in its simplicity it to hard to follow.

    The way i always phrase it is “it’s good for quick tasks and prototyping” but beyond that you’re almost always better off using any other language.

    Yet another Python project that doesn't recognize the sanity of using Poetry/Conda compared to hot mess called pip:
    "My condolences, pythonista."

    @vintprox I don't care for neither pip nor conda, just give me an arch/aur package.

    But they can't even do that right and they can't even document how to build yourself if you need to

    @LotsOfCaffeine true. For whatever reason, they weren't able to deliver the basic painless installation guide. Had to dig in it myself.

    "What the fuck is conda and why do I need it to install software" uh...conda is meant to solve exactly this? Think combination of pip and venv in a sane manner. It lets you create sandboxed installs with each box having its own python interpreter so you can version the way you want.
