Python environment/packaging sucks, but at least the language itself doesn't.

It's fine actually, all of the problemswith python packaging and env are overblown to insane degree.

I used to work at a place that used Jython (which never got updated to Python 3, BTW) and was responsible for trying to keep that shit working even as various libraries started dropping Python 2 support.

I still get a thousand-yard stare when I think about it.

(Still worth it vs. writing actual Java code, though.)

Npm/yarn are absolute horseshit.

See? Node is just as bad as Python now.

Yep, they are.

Just recently there was an article here, where a person claimed that recommended python tooling is inadequate because they needes to read two paragraphs of documentation. Endemic problem really.
