A little over a year ago I was struggling with python related to packaging and managing my own dependencies. I found a blog post called "Relieving your Python packaging pain"[0] that piqued my interest with its simplicity. A couple of days later, the author released another post called "Why not tell people to 'simply' use pyenv, poetry, pipx, or anaconda"[1], which included the how-to steps outlined in their first post, and generated a sizeable discussion[2] on HN. Being on a Mac, this really has made things so much easier for me. I'm not a professional developer by any means, but more like a hobbiest+ as I make things to help automate away some pain points within the small company I work for.
