Anyone complaining about Python packaging has never dealt with embedded tooling.

@robdaemon I thought STM32CubeIDE was bad, but at least basic IDE functionality from the 1990s works.

@petrillic tbh, it is better than ever. worst experiences i have had was with scratchbox. these days shit just bootstraps itself and if not, i just download e.g. bootlin toolchain.

@petrillic ofc it depends what you mean by toolchain. for fpga's shit is proprietary as hell with a few exceptions. i.e. depending on context you could agree or disagree on that. python is unfair comparison tho as it has nothing to do with hardware... it is same as comparing JVM to embedded development.

in software context, python packaging is rotten tbh.
