Is there any reason why Python isn't supported?

How is the dependency management situation on Python? I have dabbled in Python for a few projects, and it always felt like there was no "right way" to manage dependencies and environment.

That has been a huge problem in the past and it's still somewhat of a problem. However now that pip and virtualenv (renamed venv) are part of the standard python install and pip has gotten a lot better when comes to cross platform installs and handling binary dependencies, hopefully we'll see some more standardization around those tools.

That being said, I use conda for managing dependencies and environment for basically all my python development work and have no complaints.

these days all the tooling you need is shipped with the python standard distribution.

pip: install a package system-wide

venv: create fake system paths locally in your current directory

so do everything within a venv and pin your dependency versions into requirements.txt. i've found it to be exactly as powerful as i need, works out of the box, and it's easy.

I find Pipenv very nice, but it is controversial.

This also would be quite interesting. We are baked into another ppa provider as it is. Theres so many GitHub projects that have a ppa setup elsewhere.

If it lives in GH it may as well have a ppa (therefore a deb). I assume programming language packages will be first and later on system level packages if possible?
