Yeah I get the idea but I’m asking op for concrete examples. Python has its own environment management options that work well. I’ve read on this site over and over what it can do - I’m wondering if anyone has hard examples of tooling they switch about enough to make it worthwhile.

If Python environment management works well for you, then stick with that. You'd be in the minority, though.

Nix is a pain in the ass, people mostly use it because it's the only reliable option.
