As someone who quite hates being in that situation (although I can build binaries and all that with a little grunt), I can't quite understand why sometimes developers can't do what's seemingly so simple for them - build and release their code as a package.

Like, I know there are variables when building, but why can't you just make a default package (okay, series of packages for different OSes if needed) for everyone to enjoy? Is it just some elitist mindset or no bothering about anyone but devs or are there valid reasons for such actions beyond "I don't care"?

Its just a python script, it takes 5 minutes to watch a youtube video to learn how to install python and run the script according to the readme instructions.

Its not like the repo owner could just hit the magic compile button for an interpreted language to make it work or really needs too.

Obvious troll is obvious.

I disagree with the post. Seen it has a requirement.txt, creating a virtual env should be required.

Okay but I hate released projects that force you to compile it into your target platform if it's something simple like a file converter or a save file editor and the process involves lots of work.
