There’s a reason that my company’s template for a python project includes a Makefile with a “nuke” (destroy the virtualenv, rebuild from scratch) and “tacnuke” (destroy the virtualenv _and_ the python install) target. Life is short and we have work to do.

what happens when you forget to virtualenv python

One of the fun things you can do with uvx to just … run python.
Super useful to play around with a python package without having to make a virtualenv somewhere.

INDIANA JONES AND VIRTUALENV USING THE OSX PYTHON
I don't think I'll ever use pip, virtualenv, or poetry again.
uv, the Rust-based tool that has been out since February, has been the best upgrade to my Python setup in 2024.
Impossibly fast and comes with full project management capabilities (not just virtual env management.)
10 out of 10.

I'm used to development Linux, coming into MacOs is like, what am I even doing.
I've managed to install, and pip install virtualenv, but where the heck has the virtualenv commandline???

Uv is such a great tool if you're building boilerplates in Python and need to document the setup process.
Without uv: install Python (use Homebrew or pyenv or ...), set up a virtualenv (use pyenv-virtualenv or venv or ...), install dependencies (pip-tools or poetry or ...).
With uv: run "uv sync".

“Python tooling is easy! Just use pip, conda, mamba, poetry, pipx, pdm, nix, uv, venv, virtualenv, pipenv or pyenv”

Puzzles me how virtualenv usage keeps going up when there's uv around, was expecting uv to eat into virtualenv popularity but seems not much impact 🤔

[whoops, turns out the autoposter broke:
`python3: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory`
googling up possible fixes now. like just standing up a new virtualenv, let's try that first. -bg]

In a few days you no longer need Python, pip, venv, virtualenv, conda, mamba, poetry, pipenv, uv, pyenv-virtualenv, asdf, system python, homebrew python, conda python.

I hate on haskell a bunch, but tbh python version management makes stack/cabal seem perfectly designed in comparison

anyway, i think it should be possible to plug #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer into a completely new computer and start, for example, dumping flash into a file within 30 seconds and with zero Python virtualenv interaction. i have as of this point basically achieved that (tho you need Chrome)

uv is the first tool that allowed me to make sense of the Python ecosystem and actually work with it.
Before, I've been avoiding Python at all costs just to avoid dealing with the virtualenv / packaging mess, but now it works the way I know, love and expect from npm / Cargo / etc.
Impressive job.

wild tech/urbanism crossover fact: `pip` and `virtualenv` were created by a bike/pedestrian advocacy organization funded by (and sometimes even coresident with) Limewire (and the HFT fund owned by the same person)
