Agreed. But the problem is now fully solved by https://docs.astral.sh/uv/.

I'm enjoying uv but I wouldn't say the problem is "fully" solved -- for starters it's not uncommon to do `uv add foo` and then 5K lines of gobbledygook later it says "missing foo-esoterica.dll" and I have to go back to the multiplatform drawing board.
Could it be a problem with a specific Python package being installed rather than uv itself?
easy if you start from scratch, hard if you want to get existing projects working

also it doesn't always work, I got stuck with some dependencies when it works it's amazing
