I understand the basic issue, that some versions of packages may have conflicts with other other, especially older ones.
But the whole point of putting code in a shared library is to share stuff between applications, so that everything doesn't have to be statically linked. Now if everyone is forced to use venv:s, there will be a lot of duplicate stuff on the os, one environment for each application. Seems to me that the whole point of using standard libraries is lost.
So can we at least get a shorter option, if this cannot be the default behaviour? We just want to keep thing simple and not deal with venv:s and containers.
