Real talk, for the past hour I've been reading up on just using Docker for this. I have some good reasons for maybe wanting to do that...https://twitter.com/HoityPloidy/status/1026102712700682242?s=19 …

I’ve been pretty impressed with conda for this. May try using only conda on my next clean install to avoid mucking with system python.

And for anything that doesn't play nice I've been using docker.

I just can’t get into using the virtual environment functionality, so I tend to f’ up my install regularly.

you can do it!!! I managed to avoid the temptation to break my system Python for 2 years at my past job

over my dead distro packager body, alternatives or bust

My first goal when installing a new system is to get off the system package manager as fast as possible

all my hard work for naught

Well I mean I really (really) appreciate your efforts on system software, but if I take even 2 tutorial Python web apps they're likely going to want a different version of the same lib. What do :). I use venv but TIL PyEnv.

oh, certainly you should use virtualenvs. But those are for dependency management, as opposed to Python version management :) IMO using a modern system Python is the safest, if you need to muck with Python versions use a container!
