I've been coding in Python for 10+ years but I can never really get python's tooling ecosystem. It seems that there's always a newer shiny choice. easy_install, pip, conda, virtualenv, pipenv, setup_tools, hatchling, setuptools-scm, uv, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml...

I wish python can provide an "official" solution to each problem (like in rust, there's cargo, end of story), or at lease, an official document describing the current best practice to do things.

I'm not sure you'll get official documentation beyond the PPUG (https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/) which, for reasons, doesn't even mention uv.

For the last year or so, I've been trying to provide an alternative guide that stays abreast the best options and provides simple guides: https://pydevtools.com/.
