Have you tried setting up a python project with native dependencies on a different version of OS than original developer?

If you cannot even set up your dependencies, a container might look like a solution, but I can assure you, it isn't.

It is the best solution. In my particular situation, at last.

Another solution would find a senior developer who can manage his dependencies properly, but I can't afford him. However, I can pay a junior ML developer wage and just throw what he develops in a docker image instead of wasting time and money on doing things the hard way for a prototype.

As engineers, we're supposed to be rational people, but unfortunately, we tend to forget that time and money are often happen to be the most important constraints we have to work around.

No, i haven't. (not OP but) The last decade or more 90% of people i collaborated with were on the same operating system. Which moves the docker development setup solidly into "nice to have" category for me, especially when working on small teams <10.

Things easily break even between minor releases of the same system.
