Eeeehhh I think I will be downvoted to hell and back for this but after I read the article I had the feeling of "why are you making this feel more complex than it needs to be?"

I mean compared to Java and C# I have a MUCH MORE EASIER time to set up my development environment. Installing Python, if I am on a Windows box I mean, is enough to satisfy a lot of the requirements. I then clone the repo of the project and

source venv/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

is enough to get me to start coding.

Because it's more complex if you have projects on multiple Python versions and if you want to lock your Python packages to specific versions. (Pip can bite you when different packages have different requirements for the same lib).
