Yes. As someone who has never dove deep into python, but has had some contact with it: the package manager ecosystem is the #1 thing keeping me away from it.
npm sucks and all, but at least it just works and doesn't get in my way as much.

used many package managers: pip, gem, go, npm, composer, etc... npm is the only one i have recent memories of having to kill & the only one that makes the fan go off (well okay most c/c++ do that too...)
quite frankly surprised by what i am seeing about python here. i have never been into the new stuff, pipenv, poetry, pipx, etc... maybe that's where the bad experience is coming from? i even don't know when and why it got so complex...
I imagine if you're deploying docker, you probably should be developing in docker (e.g. using PyCharm's remote interpreter/docker interpreter integration).
Coming from the scientific computing realm, I've only ever done "real" code in Python until a couple of weeks ago when I was forced to do some work in Typescript. Once I got over the initial worries about the best method to install npm to avoid Python-esque problems and gave nvm a try, I was very pleasantly surprised by the package management process and was able to just get on with the work.
I've tried various Python env management solutions in the past (mostly leaning towards conda), but had recently settled on just using separate LXC/LXD containers for each project.
