I've found that venv's work. They're just very inconvenient (having to constantly manage which venv you're in when you change directory). Consider that with NPM, only two of those commands are ever needed:

    # install the requirements
    npm install

    # remove it
    rm -rf node_modules

The rest is unnecessary because NPM uses the equivalent of a venv automatically based on your current working directory and the location of your package.json file.

Python has this too, check out PEP 582. There's a package manager called PDM which will just create a __pyoackages__ folder in this style.

As a PDM enthusiast for quite a while, I'm sorry to inform you that PEP 582 has been officially abandoned (which doesn't mean that it won't be revived someday, just not so easily). https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-582-python-local-packages-d...
