Go more than makes up for this in the deployment aspect, since deploying Python in 2020 (Python 2, Python 3, conda, pip, venv, system interpreter, poetry, etc.) is still a mess.
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/in...)" curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/maste... | python - brew install pyenv // update shell with pyenv pointer pyenv install 3.9.0 pyenv global 3.9.0 poetry init poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true --local poetry install
For deployment, Docker python3:alpine, install poetry, copy over pyproject.toml and install
Why do we need virtual env in 2020?
It's one of the worse "modern" language to build, even Java / NodeJS are better.
Well, for starters, that particular multi-liner:
- installs an entire package manager, which may or may not conflict with system tools or a different package manager,
- assumes pyenv will build Python against the system libraries without additional flags (it won't if you're running Big Sur, you'll need zlib from Homebrew),
- assumes you are on macOS, and does not attempt to work on Windows or Linux, or account for the idea that someone might not want to deploy a program using Docker.
