I would also like pip and packaging "fixed", which from my standpoint of a python software user is "broken". The three I rely on are in a constant cycle of breaking each other.

...although that might all be the fault of aws-cli. Which by the way doesn't install on a vanilla Ubuntu 20.04 ami via apt which is just... really really bad.

Aws cli continues the inexplicably horrible aws interface that makes me shake my head at people lauding their might, along with their console.

The console rewrite... anyway, pip seems to be a headache, certainly not as good as gems.



I love how you can tell which parts of aws-cli were written by different teams because of how the inconsistencies are consistent within a certain domain.


I finally switched to poetry for python deps and happy ever since. It’s basically the gems approach applied to python.


For god’s sake at least let requirements install in order.


Are there scenarios where this doesn’t happen?

I had a quick look in pip and install order is predicated on requirements order https://github.com/pypa/pip/blob/c188d1f08f1a4a2c0a03e397f15...
