@stargirl@hachyderm.io I'm still upset that Python 3 broke Python 2.7 compatibility, I've still got systems built and running Python 2.7 and I always will.

@stargirl@hachyderm.io people and data/code distribution systems are fricking hard, yup. Also I think Python is doing very fine. We are not Perl /ducks 👀

@stargirl@hachyderm.io I can’t even get the few dozen python devs in one company to agree on a packaging and dep management standard. The entire community standardizing and on anything seems impossible

@stargirl@hachyderm.io Well one thing that royally fucked up are distributions and their tools. Getting what's effectively a binary-cache is great, but it shouldn't be a massive pain for users to tweak things slightly for their needs, be it a bit of configuration, patches, slightly specific versions, … And should also be very easy to create packages, specially dirty ones that just get the job done before production. To me it doesn't makes sense for python to somehow try to manage a part of the world bigger than it is, because it simply can't.
