Isn't installing different versions an OS concern, not the Python's concern? I bet Debian and NixOS have very different takes on that, to say nothing of macOS and Windows.

I also suppose that pyenv and poetry exist and solve that to a reasonable extent.

One could say that providing Python modules is an OS concern as well.

Debian IMHO has the worst take on that (see the venv module).

Pyenv definitely solves it, but I talked about an officially supported solution.
