Two things. 1) I kind of agree about Python. I don't like being forced into virtual env either, but there's not a lot that I can do about it besides use it enough to get comfortable with it. 2) You can always use *apt *to install it on Debian and avoid all the pip stuff. My upgrade from 4 quite a while ago was painless using *apt*.
