For interpretable programming languages (e.g. Python), non-docker setups may be too difficult to maintain so developers simply don't bother. Any OS update on the user side may break their setup. Any library update on the maintainer side may break some user's setup. It never ends.

@silverpill @phnt Yeah, although I'd say Python is quite alone in having installs being so version-dependent that there's no other way but to either package all the way (where Python is also by far the worst), or jail it.
