pip needs to be put on a PIP

(although to be fair pip and the python package ecosystem has come a long way in the last few years)

Python needs to be put on PIP :)

It was fired in macOS 12.3, but you can bring it back as a contractor with the xcode installer.

Python might actually need to be sacked and blacklisted from the industry.

Only after the entire ecosystem has been ported to a different language.

I'm a data person so I haven't cut any big code with Python, but the package management issues I have had have gone away with conda virtual environments.

So - curious; where does that break down?

well, pip will happily brick your system if you let it on many Linux distros. Or at least it used to... I don't trust it enough to use it outside a virtualenv.

Yeah, the message "your version of pip is out of date" doesn't make sense, and no amount of pip install will fix it.
