The packaging is a nightmare thats for sure.

Venvs, activate, deactivate, shitty scripts hacking on $PATH. How did this ever ship? Then there was poetry, `uv`, and maybe something in else in $CURRENT_YEAR.

Try to set it up on a new macOS, go on. Install a package from pip, and there's a bunch of garbage that won't let you do it.

It's horrible. Python packaging engineer is now an FTE, maybe that's what they wanted.
