Once upon a time Python just worked.
Now, on Mac OS, Python is a disaster. Different versions in different virtual environements, homebrew vs pip vs pip3 vs pipx vs ...
It is hard to image how the Python world got itself so bollixed up on MacOS.

@karlauerbach it's not just MacOS. It's similarly bad everywhere. As Martin notes, uv makes it somewhat better. But, it's still become a language where I'm constantly afraid of upgrading any library or Python itself, as I know something will break either at build or run time. The Python ecosystem has become overtly hostile to backward compatibility and heterogeneous deployments, where you have to accommodate old and new operating systems and Python versions.
