I stumbled upon this while researching package management options for python, and found it a really interesting read.

I like python as a language but this mess is something that needs to be addressed for me to consider python for future projects. I can't imagine how confusing it must be for new users.

I have been using PDM for a while now and love it, can't believe I was using pip before, especially for venv handling and packaging.

I wonder, having tools like PDM or Poetry that unify the whole process, why do people prefer to use fragmented tools (one for venv, another for packaging, another for publishing)? Is it just entrenched habits or not knowing the benefits of other tools?
