What do you mean? Python comes pre-installed with every distro I know, virtual environment support is built in, alternative version packages are readily available on distros (but backwards compatibility is pretty good in Python anyways).

If anything, Python in Docker is more of a pain than bare-metal since the distro (usually alpine or debian) ships its own Python version and packages that are almost entirely disconnected from the one the image provides.




Docker basically only exists as a popular product because of how terrible Python installation is, but okay good luck with that.
