Agreed. Though I would not call it a "nightmare," the python ecosystem and runtime are cumbersome and annoying to work with when compared to some other languages that have put in a lot of thought into DX.

Still, it could be worse.

Once you hit the sweet spot of developing for cross-platform (even just Linux, MacOS, and Windows) and supporting normal average-people users and have (even optional!) C dependencies, Python's packaging situation quickly deteriorates into "nightmare" territory.

This is exactly my problem. I have to support Windows (a locked down corporate version) and Linux.
