I'm an occasional user of Python and have a degree in computer science. Almost every freaking time I use Python, I go through PSH (Python Setup Hell). Sometimes a wrong version is installed. Sometimes it's a path issue. Or exe naming confusion: python, python3, phthon311, etc. Or library compatibility issues - took an hour to find out that pygame does not work with the current version of python. Then the kludgy PIP app and using a DOS box under Windows with command prompts which is ridiculous. God only knows how many novice users of the language (or even intermediate users) were lost in the setup process. Why not clean the infrastructure up and make a modern environment or IDE or something better than it is now. Or at least good error messages that explain exactly what to do. Even getting this email to the list took numerous steps.
