Python virtual environments feel really archaic. It's by far the worst user experience I've had with any kind of modern build system.

Even a decade ago in Haskell, you only had to type cabal sandbox init only once, rather than source virtualenv/bin/activate.sh every time you cd to the project dir.

I'm not really a python guy, but having to start touching a python project at work was a really unpleasant surprise.
