This is the same Python that you can't even use for any projects at all.

Python dependencies break if you even so much as rub two brain cells together wrong. I have wasted weeks of my life trying to get x python library to work with y and I have come to the conclusion that it is impossible. I have no idea how people use this god forsaken programming language. I guess they just keep everything in one monolithic .py file and pray to God that python doesn't do some shit in the background that makes even that fail (which it has done to me).

It's no surprise that this amount of bureaucracy goes on behind the scenes as well. The entire language is held together with duct tape and Van der Waals forces.
