In my experience, python dependency management + library installations + code sharing is way easier than the following:

C#, C++ (Conan) and Java, Linux(apt, yum, etc) and most certainly JS/TS.

What is so hard about "installing code, packages" in python for you?

Java - all you have to do is mvn install clean build -> Maven is amazing at dependency management. Same in JS - npm install and npm start works like a charm.

And python all you have to do: pip install -r requirements.txt

Or even better: pip install -e /path/to/my/project

Works like a charm.

what about version management when conflict happens in dependencies that are installed vs needed. Admit Python is a big mess. That is why people recommend installing within another weird software called conda environment vs directly.
