In my opinion Python modules are rarely "one function" dependencies. And while the ecosystem is certainly enormous, so is the standard library, so for many common tasks, I don't even need to `pip install` a new dependency.
Yes, "virtual environments" used to be kind of messy, and the fact that there are usually 2 competing ways to install modules (via the OS pkg manager and pip) doesn't help either. But since `pyenv` and `venv` exist now, venvs are much less of a hassle than they used to be.
