It's a UX issue. The author is correct — nobody cares about all the mumbo-jambo virtualenvs or whatever other techno-babble.

The user

just

wants

to run

the damn program.

> `uv run` and PEP 723 solved every single issue the author is describing.

PEP 723 eh? "Resolution: 08-Jan-2024"

Sure, so long as you somehow magically gain the knowledge to use uv, then you will have been able to have a normal, table-stakes experience for whole 2 years now. Yay, go Python ecosystem!

Is uv the default, officially recommended way to run Python? No? Remember to wave goodbye to all the users passing the language by.
