@davidculley @veronica it seems like creating a venv isn't that difficult, especially so when one already is comfortable with python. I do it all the time.
The only pain point is when one needs a particular interpreter version (doubly so if the OS package manager doesn't offer it). I'll acknowledge one needs a solution for that.

@draeath @davidculley My main open source project is anyway distributed as an OS package or exe installer. The docs still recommend pipx for install from PyPi on platforms that I don't provide other packages for, so this isn't really a big deal for me. I'm comfortable using just plain pip myself, and the lock file isn't really necessary for this project (since it is designed to work with a wide range of Python and package versions). My main issue, really, is replacing ruff.
