I literally have to think about dependancies every time i install a python script in Debian. It always says its externally managed and use pipx. Then its not in pipx so i have to make a venv. Any other language i download and compile and it only cares about dependancies at build time.
Oh I’ll agree there: whoever designed the way python works on Linux distros seems to have been brain dead. I’m also cool with any devs who think they should make user dependencies require pipx or any of the 53 not-quite-pip variants getting shot – not dead, just like in their calves or something. Small caliber.
I’ll note that python also only cares about dependencies at build time.
There are tools which allow you to build your full application including dependencies into an executable file.
