Simple: install a real OS like GNU/Linux or Free/OpenBSD on your mac and you're good to go :p

No seriously macos is fucked up in various ways… But if you use pipenv or similar, you don't really have to worry about what is installed on the rest of the computer.

Right, I do use virtual environments these days, kinda... but ... my mac is a barren wasteland of python installs and duplicate packages and all sorts of other mind-boggling environment fuckery that I have been putting off dealing with! Ill get to it one of these days, I guess.
