Except many python packages have started to move away from requirements.txt to pyproject.toml files, so you have to deal with that. Plus now you have to either remember where you put all your venvs and which tool is where or do weird hacky things with $PATH.

The recommended process nowadays is to use Pipx which just creates a fresh venv for each tool.

That doesn't work for development but I agree that it's extremely useful for using Python projects.
