The main problem with python that causes trouble for everyone is python packaging. Long ago, Guido van Rossum declared that packaging was not a concern of the core python team and would be left for others to work on.

This has lead to python packaging being a complete mess that doesn’t integrate well with the rest of the language and needing “features” like virtual environments that don’t exist for other programming languages.

This is what causes the need for things like PEP 668 to stop users stomping on the system python environment and breaking things. Unfortunately this won’t change as long as the core python team refuses to take ownership of python packaging.
