I think you have got to be meme'ing. You literally wrote 7 paragraphs about how to build something for python when for other languages it's literally a single command. For Ruby, it's literally
bundle
. Nothing else. Doesn't matter if it's got C packages or not. Doesn't matter if it's windows or not. Doesn't matter if you have a different project one folder over that uses an older gem or not. Doesn't matter if it's 15 years old or not. One command.Just for comparison for gradle it's
./gradlew build
For maven ismvn install
For Elixir it'smix deps.get
mix compile
For node it'snpm install
every other language it's hardly more than 1 command.
Python is the only language that thinks that it's even slightly acceptable to have virtual environments when it was universally decided upon decades ago to be a tremendously bad idea. Just like node_modules which also was known to be a bad idea before npm decided to try it out again, only for it to be proven to be a bad idea right off the bat. And all the other python build tools have agreed that virtual envs are bad.
