What would you do if some of the deps started to have conflicts in them? Also, what are your plans for migration when you'll need to move from one os version to another?

Implicit solutions like yours have lower cost of entrance, but larger cost of support. uv python scripts just work if you set them up once

None of my one off python code is OS dependent. But, none of my professional production code is either, because it's rare to have OS specific python code (unless you're building your own libraries), so this concern is very confusing to me. But, to make sure I can reproduce my one off environment, I periodically pip freeze a requirements.txt.
