the only time i've had issues with pip is when using it to install the xonsh shell, but that's not really pip's fault since that's a very niche case and i wouldn't expect any language's package manager to handle installing something so fundamental anyways.
It's all fun and games until the wheel variant you need for your hardware acceleration package conflicts with that esoteric math library you planned on using.
This isn't a pip issue though. Either these packages work together and the packaging is wrong, or they don't work together.
Isn't this why you use venv?
