feld (feld@friedcheese.us)'s status on Tuesday, 24-Sep-2024 21:53:34 JSTfeld @r000t @p @NEETzsche @lanodan Debian removed support for installing any Python packages system-wide with pip. It needs to be in the Debian package repo or go make a virtual env. Python has a PEP for this and Fedora is going to do it too.
https://peps.python.org/pep-0668/
Why?
Because on Linux so many things including the package manager use Python, and pip can literally break them.
