It's easier because Python modules rarely enforce dependencies versions
on runtime. It doesn't mean we don't have possible issues now, but I
generally agree that it is not so bad.

There are some packages that are surely very popular in the community or
as a dependency. Setuptools, packaging, requests, Flask, Django,
urllib3, pip, six, jinja, yaml, cffi, unit tests libraries, Pillow,
Sphinx, to name a few=E2=80=A6 It sounds better to me to start from "scra=
tch"
basing on requests from users than carefully check each of 576 py-*
packages we have now.
