It's discouraging that after setuptools, easy_install, distutils, distutils2, distribute, pip, buildout, pyproject.toml, poetry, hatch, etc... things are now in many ways worse than before. Language-level packaging should have one, standard, stable way of doing it.

“The cost of a thing is the amount of. . . life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.” -- Henry David Thoreau Python's packaging is very costly.

@mjuric There's nothing like a five year old requirements.txt with a bunch of `version_name > X.Y.Z` to turn one's thoughts to the almighty, and let the smiting begin

@mjuric If God created Python packaging, Satan created npm.
