I don't understand why pip doesn't do it like npm. Admittedly, I don't write Python code much, but "npm install xyz@1.2.3" simply installs to a node_modules/ folder in the current directory. Very easy to parse and nuke if I need to. I don't really understand how venv and its weird shell prompt are a better solution.

Yeah. I often nuke the node_modules directory and start again.
