Just curious, you don't find learning entire languages hard or confusing but suddenly writing 3 commands to set up a venv is too 'messy'?

Not everyone uses the same 3 commands which means for a new python dev, finding out about venvs isn't as immediately obvious as it should be. Even then it's shooved (sadly) as an optional thing

It's a pain in the ass when you have colleagues who only know JS or HTML/CSS or whatever and they need to install the project to run it on their machines, and you have to explain "virtual envs" and other bullshit that doesn't exist in sane packaging ecosystems to get them up and running.
I think the challenge is that some dependencies have sub-dependencies that need to be different versions, and venv doesn't handle that automatically.
