my understanding is that the batteries included philosophy wasn't really successful. probably it would have been better if they had a smaller standard library providing core language-level functionality and then many blessed p packages that with independent versioning

It was successful at the time. Remember Python is nearly 30 years old now, and has always had the worst dependency management of any major language.

I don't know c++ dependency management is pretty terrible.
