    You already are forced to use a venv, but I fucking hate pip and some projects don’t work in venv I don’t know why it just doesn’t and it sucks

      That’s the thing, if everybody is forced to use a venv, those projects will either fix their shit or lose all of their userbase.

        So these package maintainers are harboring magical charms and voodoo dolls which us lowly plebs just don’t know about?

        If these guys are so awesome, shouldn’t we be plying them with coke and blow and keep 'em working resolving our dependency resolution issues?

        They do have the secret sauce and just holding it back from the rest of us

            Would the coke and blow happen for that guy?

            Makes sense if i’m that guy

            This question is about Python package funding. If world+dog no longer stresses over pip dependency resolution isn’t this not extremely valuable? So how to go about getting that package permanently funded. No bs dangling a tiny carrot and insisting on strict justice (reporting milestones …). Then funding only happens for large projects.

            Question on package funding is very legitimate. Have a list of packages that are no longer maintained cuz funding never happened.

            Can subsist on crocodile tears. It’s a guilty pleasure.

            Meaning, if package funding never ever happens, and all that ever happens is never ending articles/threads on Python devs whining about dependency resolution, i’m going to feed that.

            Personally not suffering from dependency resolution stress. Everyone else does.

            If the available solutions were sufficient there would be no more articles with comment sections filled with war stories, tales of carnage, and loss.

            … always comes down to that one guy.

            Solve the Python author maintainer funding issue!

            Then and only then will i market the package that specifically targeted towards resolving pip dependency resolution issues for package (and app) maintainers.
