I hate installing things with pip. It has to be the worst set up for a package installer. About 75% of the time something I'm installing fails and I have to look up why. Coming from npm and yarn where it just works I can't stand the disconnect I get when trying to get into something and I have to configure stuff for the first 3 hours before I can actually do anything.

    Maybe check out pipenv, the future of py package management, has a .lock file, same as yarn for same reasons. Although I've had very few issues with pip.

    use environments for *everything* and stop installing stuff globally. This will make pip work like a charm.

    if you keep dumping bunch of python dependencies into your global setup you're going to have a bad time. That same goes for npm.
