This is a valid criticism of the Python community and something the core language maintainers should look to address.

The author didn't include one of his custom source libraries that's not needed to understand the code, so that makes this a valid criticism of the Python community? lol

One million percent yes.

The code shouldn't build, go green, or be in any shareable state. This is horrifically bad practice.

A language should remove all of these thorns in a first-class manner.

Until you use a package manager like Cargo, you probably can't intuit the wide gulf here. A good analogy might be imagining the world before version control.

Dependency control matters immensely. Hermeticity and repeatability matter immensely. We should strive to build these into the very foundations.
