Wow, they (apparently) finally made the REPL not suck! I always thought it was weird how shit it was given that it's one of the big reasons Python has become as popular as it is.

Maybe in another 20 years they can make the package tooling not suck too.

poetry has made the package tooling generally not suck for me, and uv seems to be getting better. Just a few more PEPs to go until uv does what I want. Here's hoping.

Poetry is frigging great.
Never heard of uv.

uv is basically a super fast Python tool, written in Rust. Looks promising, but it seems to be missing some features I really like from Poetry, but I'm keeping my eye on it.

The Python REPL was always sort of minimal when used from the command line, but is quite usable in an Emacs window. IDLE is also useful some of the time. I never felt the need for anything like Eclipse because of it.

Maybe because people who needed it knew there were better ways to do it, like ipython and Jupyter. I’ve never heard of anyone gushing about the stock REPL.
