I don't think it's fair to blame pip for some ancient abandoned packages you tried to use.

[–] ExLisper@linux.community -3 points 1 year ago

The issues I had:

packages installing but not working due to missing dependencies
packages installing but not working due to broken dependencies (wrong lib version installed)
packages not building and failing with obscure errors
one package was abandoned and using Python 2.7

If a 'pip install X' completes successfully but X doesn't work it's on pip. And when it fails it could tell you why. Cargo does.
