Is Python's tooling incredibly difficult, or am I just stupid?

and yet that all works fine in Ruby, which came out around the same time as Python and yet has had Bundler for 15 years now.
Python - 15+ package managers and build tools Ruby - 1
no the closest language is literally Ruby, it's almost the exact same language, except the tooling isn't insane and it came out only a few years after python.
good point, ruby is a good comparison. although, ruby is very different under the hood. it's magically dynamic in a completely different way, and it also never really got the penetration on the system level that python did.
none of this is to take away from the fact that python packaging is bad. i know how to work it because i've been programming in python for 14 years, but trying to teach people makes the problem obvious. and yet.
