Thank you for writing this series. I love learning the high-level OS concepts alongside real, working code. It's like proof that what you're talking about actually works!

Doing it in a fresh, up-and-coming language like Rust is icing on the cake. Keep it up!


I will! Thanks for the kind words :)


That's for per-user isolation. This is about per-project isolation. A single user can have many projects with different dependencies.


that's what PYTHONUSERBASE (the environment variable) is there for!


Ah, I hadn't thought of using it that way. Seems like a working solution, even though it's not the problem that the PEP is meant to solve.


But you may want to keep 3 installation levels: global, per-user and per-project. If you use the second to achieve the third, then you no longer have the second.


Sorry, I can't use software that isn't "made with love". Consider revising. You might also consider having your code snippets hosted with ❤.

Kidding of course -- the love that went into this is self-evident.


I initially misread the footed as "Make love with a keyboard" :P


Speaking of which... where the hell did that "made with ❤" meme started anyway?
