So let me get this straight:

Out of the dozen odd solutions python has been through, virtualenv is now depreciated in favor of venv as of 3.5+? And venv ships standard now?

What happened to simplicity and there being "only one way" of doing things?

I hope python isn't catching a case of js-fever.

Someone was saying the problem with virtualenv was that it doesn't play well with relative path names?

    Is venv different from virtualenv? 🤔

    Apparently it's a "better virtualenv" because it plays well with multiple python installs.

    Not familiar enough yet though.

    ... Python.

    I'm so glad I picked Ruby instead.

    lol.

    What is invisible return statements?

    Well it's not much more than a nitpick. Sue me.

    Better answer: What is rails?

    @Demolishun To be blunt: better.
    @Wisecrack: Rails? Could be better.

    Even though I'm not a Python dev I find this critisism ridiculous.
    The language itself provides no way to do it or one way. First it didn't; now there is venv (part of the standard library).

    What's next complaining about supporting several data formats? Multiple 3rd party DOM parsers?
    Contrib will be contrib ungoverned and uncontrolled. It's also where innovations like virtualenv are born...

    @wisecrack @Parzi just install latest Python 3. Get pycharm and let it set things up for you. Even console gets bootstrapped in the venv automagically.

    Containers > venv/conda anyway
    The overhead of something like Alpine's or Clear's Docker image is worth the superior isolation you get.

    Some of us just like to complain for the sake of complaining. You have a point though.

    @hjk101 Why does pycharm have no save? It bothers me that I cannot explicitly ctrl-s

    @Wisecrack usually I let people just vent. Yesterday I got a bit of unreasonable flak.

    @Demolishun
    You can I think but it still will autosave on some events like closing the IDE. I found it annoying too until I realized it prevented mistakes when I do for cmdline stuff. When I'm on VSC I still have half of what I wanted to commit sometimes 😅
