yea, it is. but it's a sane thing to do. recommending poetry for a beginner is a bad idea. (nothing against that package).

python is a mature, old, software system. three times older than go or rust. way older than zig. these modern languages have learned from the field as a whole and implemented tools that people are taking for granted nowadays.

as with any mature software system, people & companies have established their preferred ways of doing things. it's going to be hard to have the language council dictate ways of doing things.

i would recommend going simple and using the standard set of modules until poetry or whatever gets into it.
