PyTricks - A "Pythonic" rant?

Hey Reader,

"Why is Python dependency management so sh*t?"

This is a quote that I recently heard from another developer.

You know I *love* Python so hearing this instantly made me feel defensive.

But the more I listened, the more I understood this dev had a point—

Sure, those are harsh words.

But unfortunately I know they pretty accurately reflect what some of the folks in the Python community go through.

We've got so many tools and workflows floating around:

Pip, Conda, Pipenv, virtual environments (virtualenv), requirements files (requirements.txt), Warehouse & PyPI—just to mention a few.

It's hard to know what's important for becoming an effective and productive Python engineer, and what's safe to ignore.

I've put together an email course about this called "What the Virtualenv?! Avoiding Python Dependency Management Pitfalls."

The course is free—just click the link below to instantly enroll, and I'll send you your first lesson:
