today I learned that running setup.py directly is deprecated.

The more I use python, the less I understand it.

apparently, the correct way to do it is to run pip install . I guess.

@da_667 before i learned how to use venv it was constantly yelling at me for installing things with sudo -H python3 -m pip install <package>, i think in newer versions they just straight up refuse to let you do that now. i'm probably better off now for learning venv because i did end up breaking my entire python install a couple times and had to figure out how to erase everything and reinstall to fix it, which can get tricky if reinstalling your python environment depends on running python lol

Python environment hell is one of the most aggressively cursed things I've dealt with in the last 10 years when trying to just build some freaking labs.

The only thing I can think of that's worse off the top of my head is Powershell module bullshit.

I spent most of the day discovering the new ways that server 2025 with PS 7.4 embuggered things like
Import-Module GroupPolicy

And outright broke Add-Computer.

I haven't actively Windows touched in a while and the last few work days have convinced me that I will never take a job where Windows is a primary OS.
