python: "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." PEP 20 baby 😎 me: how do i use a library python: there are one hundred thousand ways to do this and they are all wrong somehow

to be fair, clojure has a similar problem, the language didnt ship with any real package management to speak of, and the community standardized on lein and boot, but both of those are useless on clojureclr. this shit is hard to get right.

ok. using pipenv i installed the dep. the next puzzle will be making it work on windows, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
