Lux helps you install and create/maintain packages. Linting is a useful step in the creation of packages.

Pip lets you create virtual environments. Does that mean it's an environment manager, not a package manager?

It doesn't, no? You create virtual environments using Python's venv module, not pip. The newer alternatives like uv do handle it, though.

Right, my bad. Still, being able to do more to aid the creation and maintenance of packages than just install packages doesn't make something "not a package manager".
