I tried installing a Python project last week after years of avoiding it like the plague. brew install didn't work, use python3 not python, no pip pre-installed, ensurepip is crashing, you need to run sudo commands to fix this, after 1hour of struggle, repo didn't work anyway. how do people work like this?

They don’t. That’s a sign that the local system is severely broken, and should be rebuilt to be stable. uv will still work in that case, but you’re going to constantly hit other points of friction on a mismanaged system which will waste time.
