Nix sounds like a great fit as well, but my experience with it has not been that great, and I feel it is not ideal for Python. I recently gave Flox a try, which simplifies the use of Nix. I use it from time to time, but it has not yet replaced my development environment.

In your case, is maintaining 2 dev env not annoying?

Sorry late reply,

Yes it is annoying to maintain 2 separate environments, but it's also not my end goal. A perfect solution for me would be a spec that is IDE agnostic, but also works as a VSCode dev container, all from a common source.

Maybe it's an unrealistic goal. But I've actually enjoyed trying and failing with nix so far, so it hasn't been too much of a burden.
