I've been running stacks with venv and pip for years and it's been perfectly adequate. The main addon I use is virtualenvwrapper which basically just give sugar for mkvirtualenv and workon.

5 tools mentioned to get started working with Python dependencies. Am I ever glad to not deal with the language anymore.
I mean, like I said, there's really just venv and pip, and mentally I almost consider them the same tool (some say they ought to have been).
Node avoids the need for a "venv" because each project has its own "venv", which if you have a 700mb pytorch install, ick.
Rust/go don't deal with .so files to the extent python does, so cargo/godep have an easier time. Python is a C abstraction layer.
So like, I'm not sure how much less you need than "package manager" and "env manager".
