     @lanodan So far, once I get a Python program to execute, it usually runs reliably without weird crashes; the first half is similar. C++ is built on sand.
     
     This is why it's not so weird for gamedev: they tend to completely isolate their builds and bundle in everything. But for desktop software like browsers and Inkscape and whatever else, it's dependency hell to get it to build and then once it does, the wind blows at a GUI toolkit and every C++ program explodes. You'd think it'd be the opposite for a language that is built and linked versus an interpreted language.

     @p Well Python problem more that code tends to rot, specially for big programs and quite few times it's the standard library which broke API.
     And quite few times means coredump-less crashes in the middle of runtime, enjoy the data loss.

     @lanodan Yeah, I was complaining about this a few weeks ago and I forget who it was (I think laurel) that said it's because of the data science guys. I think, although I do not like his language and I hear from someone that met him that he is an off-putting person, Guido was keeping things stable and when he wandered off, the movefastbreakthings kids took over, or at least the phenomenon of Python being a disaster seems to have started after his exit. (Ironically, Ruby programs I wrote 20 years ago still run as long as they keep to the stdlib; I don't think anyone would have figured Ruby for the stable project run by adults when compared to Python, but I think that's the fault of the Rails dinguses. Even I expected Python to be more boring and stable.)

     @p Yeah I heard various ones about Guido leaving (while seems like he only stepped down and is still active) and Python then becoming worse quite few times, not entirely sure how true it is and well… don't care much since the only thing I can really do is strongly avoid Python.
     Which I already do when possible, having even rewrote some scrips in shell or Perl (when shell wasn't appropriate).

     @p Yeah portage is in Python but well it's effectively the most tested python program in Gentoo (and I use stabilized packages when possible) and other than me knowingly breaking it temporarily it I don't remember it causing me issues, while I still remember Debian's apt being an rather frequent source of problems (and it's why I don't even have Debian chroots/containers).
     
     Worst case there's quite few alternatives to portage, mostly thanks to gentoo having a spec.
     In fact pkgcore (still python but much less deps) is one of those and used for CI checks on recipes and repos as well as packagers tools.
     And Exherbo probably still maintains a conforming one.

     Yeah, I have hacked on Python things but I haven't written any Python. If I have to hack on it, I'd rather it be Python than Perl, though.

     @NEETzsche @lanodan I think Guido had some ego-investment: while he was BDFL, he didn't want to read that Python was shit, and usually they'd name him. Now it's a committee. Keeping Python stable as a platform for development is now no single person's job: no one person receives the angry emails, no one person is dedicated to it.
     
     Ruby has a release engineer and if your shit breaks anyone's code, it doesn't get into the release. It is someone's fault.

     @p I kind of want to attribute it to better versioning, but your explanation might make more sense. I had a few experiences where a Python library didn't change, but it relied on some C++ library that did, and the package manager that the Python library use didn't specify which version of the C++ library to get like it's done in `Gemfile.lock` or `requirements.txt`. But that's just an anecdote and the details of it escape me because it was like 7 years ago now.

     @NEETzsche @lanodan I think `$language_specific_package_manager install $package` is the type of thing that causes that. There is something about typing in a version number and releasing a tarball with a Changelog that forces people to think about what they are doing.

     I tried to install that auto-translator but it couldn't find most of the dependencies and this turns out to have been because I have disabled installing "wheels", by which Python means precompiled packages (many of which are certain to not work on my machine because half these goddamn things link against libs for systemd, which was open about having the specific mission of creating vendor lock-in for RedHat, which company is now basically dead but its zombie code continues to ruin the earth) and half these dipshits don't even publish the source so you can only pip install the binary. I manually built and installed three or four of the packages and then one of them wouldn't build and I gave up. The juice is not worth the squeeze.

     Literally never seen this, and I've used shit like Stable Diffusion (that downloads 5 gigs of pip dependencies) quite extensively. I could understand if you mentioned not having prebuild packages for SPARC or musl or something, but I have my doubts something there would link against systemd unless it's explicitly related to service management.

     I had to use a chroot to build out CRUX for the DevTerm because it is apparently nearly impossible to keep systemd from getting linked into everything. Forget X11, it's hard to get a non-graphical userspace without DBus worming its way in. These things are why I have concluded that the only sane option is to fuck off to Plan 9 and use Linux the way a person used Windows in the aughts: here's the filthy thing you have to have because too much shit doesn't work outside it, so just contain all the fluoride in one area. But I am still not going to run unknown binaries on my desktop machine.

     @p @NEETzsche @mint I've seen few python wheels precompiled for musl, after all it's basically just few lines in the CI.
     One I very rarely see is non-x86 binaries and typically it's just for arm, so no need to even get into obscure architectures.
     
     systemd on the other hand… you can avoid most of it but you'll probably end up with systemd-udev and systemd-tmpfiles in a desktop system (At least there's https://github.com/illiliti/libudev-zero/ but other than quick tests on Alpine where it's packaged I haven't used it)

     @p
     When I started using Python in 2008, your app ran everywhere Python did. Period. Any Linux distro, every weird niche OS, OS X, even Windows after installing a single msi.

     It also meant that your app could be very small and easy to distribute.

     Now, every fucking Python application, no matter how small, basically has to install an entire "distribution" of Python, kept entirely separate from the rest of the system, if for no other reason than there's massive breaking changes every version, they've committed themselves to a new version every two years (I believe), and so you can only use the system Python if you're willing to use a very, *very* narrow window of systems and release versions.

     This is the direct result of no longer being able to tell people "No, fuck off" in online spaces without getting targeted and harassed on social media, oddly enough by the people who claim to be against harassment.

     Old builds of Python still run on Plan 9, just it's old, no one wants to maintain it, no one wants to port Python 3. But if you grab old Python and build it, you can run Mercurial, you can run old versions of Django.

     Holy shit. Last I saw of it was there was a .iso(!!) and it had some guy's source tree and prebuilt binaries for, like, 5.8.
     
     It is kind of ironic if there is real upstream support, given Rob Pike's remark that Unix was dead and Perl wrote the eulogy.

     @p @NEETzsche @mint I feel like this would create quite a lot of pain, even though I think if you distribute binaries you ought to at least distribute source code at the exact same place.
     
     And I think I'd rather have a license which requires to distribute a Source Code-only tarball, nothing pre-compiled/assembled/… in there.
     It's kind of bonkers that we don't have this but makes sense when you know that GNU tends to ship binaries in their tarballs (one example being gettext which has .class files and a .exe) and is stuck into intermediate code due to autotools.

     @r000t @p @NEETzsche @lanodan Debian removed support for installing any Python packages system-wide with pip. It needs to be in the Debian package repo or go make a virtual env. Python has a PEP for this and Fedora is going to do it too.

     Because on Linux so many things including the package manager use Python, and pip can literally break them.

     > I feel like this would create quite a lot of pain,
     
     I have been running CRUX all these years and so all of the source code for everything on my machine is in /usr/src (I don't know why PKGMK_SRC_DIR doesn't default to /usr/src but I always set it to that) so the source is always there but "The source is actually just there" is another thing entirely. Until I started using Inferno, I underestimated how nice that was, and it's great on Plan 9 also. I type 'src' and then the name of a program or a library call and it is open in my editor immediately. I don't even have to look around for it or extract a tarball.
     
     Whatever pain it causes to say "This has to come with source, no asking to mail a CD, no separate download, no having to dig through old releases to guess at which one corresponds to a binary, no goddamn cloudflare'd blog post as the only link to the source which is also cloudflared: you can't package this without including the actual source tree you used", I have not seen. If there is pain, I'm mildly interested in hearing about it but I am convinced it is either not real or it is worth it to prevent pain for the person actually using the program.
     
     > And I think I'd rather have a license which requires to distribute a Source Code-only tarball, nothing pre-compiled/assembled/… in there.
     
     Well, like, consider some :ocelot: fedi software :revolvertan: that you cannot actually use without compiling it. The practical difference between GPLv3 and AGPLv3 is that people that use a website are supposed to be able to get the code. People accessing this service don't point their browser at the source code.
     
     And say this hypothetical software has got a built-in peer-to-peer content distribution system in it. This makes it easy to distribute a tarball because you just have to create a hash before building and embed that hash at build-time. And, you know, code is code, you can't really prevent people from tweaking the build to lie about what was actually compiled, but you can put it in the license and this is enough to scare cautious entities like businesses into either compliance with the terms of the license or avoiding touching it. (I don't know of a company that accepts WTFPL, let alone the gamer word variant of the AGPL.) I don't think any pain would be involved in saying "Do not remove the link to the source from either the HTTP headers or the contents of generated HTML, do not fuck up the build script to prevent the source from being added to the binary" somewhere in the license.

     @p @NEETzsche @mint Yeah Plan9 is in fact why I quite agree with having source as part of the binaries. And I'm not 100% sure but I think it would reduce the size of debug section if you could just refer to the source code.
     
     And pain with always distributing source with binaries without any separation is with storage (and mirroring+bandwidth), it would means a lot more overhead on binary packages (and there's one per architecture for binary distros), so it makes sense to deduplicate it with arch-independent source packages.
     What I guess could be done is more like requiring source to always be installed with binaries, kind of like dependencies are, meaning that like the CD-pack I have somewhere of some antique slackware would make me install from the sources CD first.

     Another fun thing about using Python for any kind of ML/AI application is, let's say you have three different projects.

     All three will be installing 10GB of tensorflow or tamingtransformers or pytorch or whatever, a few more GB of kernels for your GPU, and so on.

     Each.

     No opportunity to share unless you just so happen to be using a deduplicating filesystem. Even then, you'll still be downloading them again.

     It is insanely nice to be able to type 'src cat' and /sys/src/cmd/cat.c is open in the editor. Even something like `go doc -src` is not quite as nice.
     
     > And pain with always distributing source with binaries without any separation is with storage (and mirroring+bandwidth),
     
     Storage was *more* constrained when / was 10MB and /usr got its own 10MB disk, and it still came with source. Source is a blip in terms of storage anyway; I have a packrat /usr/src spanning generations of the OS and it's still just 18GB of space. I keep the source around on the DevTerm and that's a uSD; 4GB of the 128GB card. (It'd be 2GB if I left out qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.15.11.tar.xz, firefox-119.0.1.source.tar.xz, qtwebengine 6.6, seamonkey 2.53.18, rustc, two versions of qemu, ghostscript.) Source is useful anyway, and you don't have a full system without it: you have a system reliant on a connection to full systems.
     
     > What I guess could be done is more like requiring source to always be installed with binaries, kind of like dependencies are,
     
     That would be fine with me for an OS. But in terms of licensing things I write, I would like to be able to mandate that the source of the actual running thing be made available to anyone using the thing such that it's really trivial to acquire. You know, like, you try to dig up the source for half of these things and they bury it eight clicks down on the website that you got by mashing the software's name into a search engine. I'd like to prevent that ever happening to something I write.

     >It's a good idea to keep a statically linked busybox everywhere you can.
     Had this shit happen when updating old Gentoo install a while ago. Python (and thus emerge) weren't broken but coreutils and tar were due to some glibc conflict. Had to remove a bunch of binaries in /bin and replace them with symlinks to busybox which surprisingly worked and let me fix essential packages.

     @lanodan @NEETzsche @RedTechEngineer @r000t Ha, it's the .app structure from NeXT. You cram a bunch of libraries and executables and icons into a special directory structure and the Mac presents it as a single file that you double-click to launch the "app".

     @mint @NEETzsche @feld @lanodan @r000t I just make /bbbin and shove the symlinks into there and then put that ahead in the path, or you can set a compile-time option to tell the shell to use its own builtins wherever possible instead of checking $PATH and it saves a lot of typing.

     @p @feld @NEETzsche @r000t @lanodan I think I've tried putting them in some other dir in PATH, but emerge didn't pick it up for whatever reason.
