It's the classic worse is better. The slowest of all dynamic scripting languages. Breaking ABI's and API's left and right all the time. Not able to implement basic performance optims. Their infrastructure (pip) getting worse and worse, getting everyone to install private venv's for every app, leading to missing security updates, because updates just break everything. People just love trouble. |

Hi, I'm a pip maintainer, can you please report any issue you think is happening in recent versions of pip: https://github.com/pypa/pip/
I particularly work on performance and stability and think we've been making big strides over the last two years

venv's stop your OS tooling from breaking, Linux distro maintainers pushed Python packaging to not allow installing into the system packages by default, and they weren't wrong.
All these other problems are solved with proper use of a lock file (which are now standardized, and you can generate and install from them in the latest version of pip), and/or use a project tool (uv, poetry, etc.).
