>tools like type-hints, mypy, (frozen)dataclasses, Pydantic, etc. is trying to address at least the latter two points here (type-driven & illegal-states-unrepresentable)

At some point you have to admit to yourself that it's the wrong tool for the job, when is this going to be?

Dependency/environment management is poor as well given how popular the language is. I believe it's popularity is similar to that of PHP in the past; flooded with carefree users.

I would strongly advise against using python for anything other than PoC/experimental endeavours.

It's a scripting language, and should be used as such.
