How do you guys update python versions and all the libraries you have installed? I have multiple like
- pygame
- ptpython
- pandas
- Pillow
- icecream
- ... is it not a massive hassle to have to reinstall all of this with every new version and fight the old version on ubuntu?
5 0 ReplyPyenv! Let the OS have its own version and work on whatever version you want, whenever.

pipx reinstall-all --python (your pyenv)

You are 100% right, that's why we use virtual environments. Specifically we use poetry, which is fine.

Then, using poetry, I have different projects with isolated environments.
