I've not done Python outside playing around really early on in my career during an internship, but I've never felt attracted to it; the 2 vs 3 debacle, installing the odd tool is like "what" (yeah just do `pip install this`, but first you need to install pip by using `easy_install`), and I've heard dependency management and environment setup is still quite backwards.

It needs a big ecosystem and tooling overhaul for me to be interested.

ATM I'm doing Go, which seems to have gotten the tooling part right at least.

The Python dependency/environment management situation is slowly improving. Poetry is quite good, IMO: https://python-poetry.org/

Python dependency management is the dragon-tyrant, and Poetry slayed it. And now we all wonder why it wasn't done years ago.
