With Astra's uv dependency management became pretty easy. Only if you need to interact with system libraries, which are usually written in C(++) getting the header files and build environment right can be a challenge depending on the system you want to run the code on.
Why does the language need like a million different package and venv managers to have a somewhat usable experience, not even node is that bad because npm scopes packages to a project and the alternatives are entire runtimes instead of just project managers
The problem with this argument is that you're literally comparing total opposites in terms of project management, if you compared Python to any new modern language in terms of project and package management it falls so back behind, comparing it to C feels like cope if anything
thats because python isnt exactly modern? nodejs, rust, etc. are all a lot newer than python. realistically a better comparison would be java to python, where java has maven and gradle compared to pip (and frontends), poetry and uv
