This is very close minded. It's best to avoid statements like that.

I feel like having a working python environment is not a great requirement to managing your python environment.

[hexo]

My OS has hard dependency on python, so i'll always have working python environment.

Also, i tend to run pip like 4-5 times max (except initial package installations) during whole project lifetime, or not at all if packages are in distro already. Its speed is ok for that. So I'm not sure what "should" i miss.
