I have no intention of starting or getting into a flame war between Ruby and Python, both are great languages but I can help with the Python tooling a bit. The Python equivalent of rvm is pyenv (https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/blob/master/README.md) and to install dependencies and handle virtual environments after that you can use pipenv (https://github.com/pypa/pipenv). Both of them together will get you almost similar experience to the Ruby tooling example you ended the post with.

I love why the lucky stiff's writing, I love POODR (http://www.poodr.com/) and the two languages have a lot in common if you just keep an open mind about it :)

I do appreciate the effort you've put into this response, unlike parent. Well done. Next time I have to do something in python, I will try pyenv and pipenv (and maybe write about it, too)
