Yeah: Use even more complexity to build software. How about taming software? (duckandcover)

This is honestly a bad joke right? Python packaging could not possibly get worse.... Or could it

It could: What if a machine learning algorithm picked each of your dependency versions for you ~magically~

Surely the solution to uncontrollable dependecies is to throw random statistical processes into the mix, that make a complex but deterministic problem totally undeterminstic.

I plead for using astropy to choose dependencies based on the alignment of the stars instead, because it has a slight mythological advantage.
