I do understand the historical reasons. Javascript has been kind of the same for years, also because its usage exploded right at the beginning. I'm just saying that between the tools that we have today, if you take into account the ecosystem, Python is not my first choice, even if it's used a lot for AI/statistics. I hope the team you are talking about can pull it together. It would be nice to have one package manager/environment manager, especially for a language that has a philosophy of the "one obvious way" to do things.

Ruby for Web. Rust for infra.
This means trying to fit all the various use cases for packaging has been like herding cats. It's certainly not a technical problem anymore, the newer ecosystems/languages have figured it out, but it is a community/human problem. Thankfully there is now a small dedicated team that has been working on the problem for years, and progress has been made. For the most part if you stick to a single tool(poetry or rye for example) then most of your problems disappear as long as you stick to their blessed way, whatever it is.
