Is Python's tooling incredibly difficult, or am I just stupid?

This is the issue for us, python outsiders. Each time we try we get a different answer with new tools. We are outside of the comtunity, we don't know the trend, old and new, pro and cons.
Your first recommandation is hatch... first time I've heard of it. Uv seems trendy in this thread, but before that it was unknown to me too.
As I understands it, it should be pip's job. When it detect I'm in a project it install packages in it and python use them. It can use any tool under the hood, but the default package manager shoud be able to do it on its own.
Uv and pip do the same thing, uv is just faster.
Hatch has the same role as Poetry or tox: managing environments for you.
Applications should be packaged properly, in a self contained installer for exactly this demographic. It's not Python's fault that this isn't common practice.
