Sorry Python but it is what it is.

    I don’t think it’s fair to blame pip for some ancient abandoned packages you tried to use.

      The issues I had:

      • packages installing but not working due to missing dependencies
      • packages installing but not working due to broken dependencies (wrong lib version installed)
      • packages not building and failing with obscure errors
      • one package was abandoned and using Python 2.7

      If a ‘pip install X’ completes successfully but X doesn’t work it’s on pip. And when it fails it could tell you why. Cargo does.
