>No offense meant, but that sounds like the assessment of someone that has only experienced really shitty package management systems. PyPI has had their XMLRPC search interface disabled for months (a year?) now, so you can't even easily figure out what to install from the shell and have to use other tools/a browser to figure it out.

Yes, this is, frankly, an absurd situation for python.

And then there is the fact that I end up depending on third-party solutions to manage dependencies. Python is big-time now; stop the amateur hour crap.

Most languages have numerous third-party solutions for managing dependencies, or only recently added native support. go only recently added modules and was an absolute mess prior to that. javascript has npm, yarn, and about a million others. PHP has compose, but it doesn't cover everything. C/C++ are a mess. Java has gradle, maven, sbt, etc.
