I use them daily and they're painful! Thankfully, there's Peru [0]. Unfortunately, it only works on Python 3.3+. [0] https://github.com/buildinspace/peru
What's unfortunate there? It's not like Python is hard to install.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The drawback is that things like feature branches are more difficult to use. For example, with npm you need to resort to various scripts or handle them by yourself manually.
You're right, but in general I don't think any npm module ought to depend on a feature branch of another npm module. If a feature is worth keeping around, it's worth publishing (even if only to your private npm repo). If 19 different projects want 19 different behaviors from the module.foobar() function, then split the function up or pass it flag parameters or whatever, but don't keep 19 different versions of the cod…
Yeah, but that's the manual way. It works okay when you're only developing a small number of modules (say 1 to maybe 3), but at some point doing it manually becomes pretty annoying. And you need scripts and commits to package.json files if you have a build server which makes builds of feature branches.
