    Just saw this reposted, but figured I’d come back to give this one some love.

    This is an interesting approach and seems like a great way to deal with the conflicting dependency issue.

    I’ve contributed to an open source Python command line interface (CLI) and maintained some private, internal CLI tools for companies and environment issues and version mismatches were always like 80% of the bug reports.

    Reducing the noise from those issues in bug reports would be amazing.

    I wonder if there’s some opportunity to share and extend an install script like this instead of every CLI needing to fork and extend it manually?
