My solution to this problem has been … to stop using python as a universal tool for all things and instead use other tools purpose built for those purposes.

Unfortunately (or not) that basically means no more python. Because it is definitely a “Jack of all trades, master of none”.

Focusing on programming languages that just want to be programming languages and not also a system service makes life so much better. You end up using languages that produce self-contained, easily shippable binaries, or languages with easily embeddable runtimes, instead of trying to write code that has to somehow survive in a “diverse ecosystem”, which generally makes it overly bloated and brittle as it grows so many appendages to solve so many orthogonal incompatibilities it comes to resemble enterprise open source…
