This affected me recently, so I have sympathy for the author. Trying to upgrade an older project I had to the module system meant trying to find out how to import modules which don't have reachable URLs and were only on the GOPATH. At I hate how it forces to you create a module everytime. some point programming in Go stopped being for fun.
How to combine both languages as he suggests? I.e. creating python binds for the go binary? What about the opposite?

I recommend using poetry and just moving on with your life, it’s far easier than trying to use pip (which is totally doable, but not clean).
But poetry requires pip… you can't use it without using pip
>sharing your code is even pain with colleagues even if they are using the same operating system, mainly because the Python requirement file doesn't pin dependencies, wat? Pretty sure you can use == in requirements.txt Also, its very possible, and quite easy to just include the code for the library in your package, which effectively "locks in" the version. We did this all the time when building AWS lambda deployments…
Sure can pin versions, it’s easy too, if you just use «pip freeze».
Recently, there was a bug in a second order dependency, and the version that fixed this bug was after a version that moved a function into a submodule.
So I had to make a local patch to my dependency that changed all of the imports.
Was the new interface more consistent? Yes, but could they have left a shim for backwards compatibility, or just lived with the old slightly less consistent interface? Seems to me like they could.

As an engineer who uses Go and appreciates it as a replacement for most purposes where you might use C or C++, the complaints just seem bizarre. You've got people who argue against explicit error checking and people who don't understand the important role of nil pointers and people who don't see the massive net win of garbage collection in concurrent programs, and so on. Endlessly. It feels like a waste of time defen…

This comment section itself clearly shows how crazy dependency and environment management is in Python. In this thread alone, we've received instructions to... - poetry - "Just pin the dependencies and use Docker" - pip freeze - Vendoring in dependency code - pipreqs - virtualenv This is simply a mess and it's handled much better in other languages. I manage a small agency team and there are some weeks where I feel l…
Don't forget Anaconda because you're on windows and have no idea how to compile random packages that are really C++ code with Python bindings!
