It's really not. I've had a much, much worse experience with Python than Elixir / Go / Node for various reasons: lots of different tools rather than one blessed solution, people pinning specific versions in requirements (2.1.2) rather than ranges (~> 2.1), dependency resolution never finishing, pip-tools being broken 4 times by new pip releases throughout a project (I kept track)...

In Elixir I can do `mix hex.outdated` in any project, no matter who wrote it, and it'll tell me very quickly what's safe to update and link to a diff of all the code changes. It's night and day.

Thankfully, it's getting gradually better with poetry, but it's still quite clunky compared to what you get elsewhere. I noticed lately for instance that the silent flag is broken, and there's apparently no way to prevent it from spamming 10k lines of progress bars in the CI logs. There's an issue on Github, lost in a sea of 916 other open issues...
