    My bad. I personally can’t stand Python, and am just a python hater. If I used python professionally as a general purpose language, I would probably want all the tools. Though… I never needed a virtual environment in another language.

    In the codebases I work in, python is occasionally used as a cross-platform scripting language, which is where its bread and butter should be. Never more than 200 lines. Every time I crack open a codebase, if there is any python, it doesn’t work. That will be the thing I have to fight before I get to work on the real problem. If it has been a year, it’s broken. If it’s a Linux project, you’re better off using Bash if you want it to run a year from now. On Windows, well…

      Did… Did someone on the Internet admit to not being 100% correct?!

      What is happening right now? Is it the apocalypse? the end times?

      Has great Cthulhu risen, neath the dark waves of the abyss to tear mind from-

      Ok, a bit dramatic, but when was the last time you saw anyone give an inch in an online argument?

      Anywho, thanks for the context, though I think the idea of python as a “scripting language” is a bit overblown.

        I felt bad you typed all that out when I’m just a python hater who isn’t able to argue in good faith.

          It’s fine. I rarely comment anywhere, and it didn’t really bother me that much. I’m at home with corona (already feeling better), so I had the time to give a thorough answer.
