Boxen (https://github.com/boxen/puppet-boxen) used Puppet to achieve this. It worked, but it was quite opinionated and of course you needed to know Puppet so the learning curve was steep. It's since been superseded by Homebrew which I find is a far better experience.

Agree IDE support isn't great for Bazel + python. We've reached a happy (for us) median by using Bazel to build a virtualenv, and using that virtualenv to power normal python tools. All of the packages in the env are just symlinked bazep deps. See rules_pyvenv.

We currently manage the dependencies manually, although I'm pretty sure work is being done to bring gazelle to rules_python (maybe it's already landed).
For what it's worth, our venv stuff is at https://github.com/cedarai/rules_pyvenv
