Yes, you have to be talented not to get lost in the pyenv ('env' as in 'version' management), venv, virtualenv, pyvenv and god knows what else. All those tools either manager versions, virtual environments or both. Super simple! I'm sure you're enjoying working with them and that's fine. I avoid it.

    If a programmer needs a whole ‘standard’ to figure out that two orthogonal tools are all they need, it's not a good sign.

    Have you ever actually read the manual? I have. It’s thousands of words for how to build a single python library. If you look at almost any other language it will be a tenth of that. Ruby’s is literally like 4 commands total. The only people that think Python tooling is even halfway good are people that have never used a language with proper tooling.
