I usually use pip3 install --user. Then just add ~/.local/bin to PATH. It hasn't caused any issues for me thus far. I also use venv, but only in CI to make sure

I usually use pip3 install --user. Then just add ~/.local/bin to PATH. It hasn't caused any issues for me thus far. I also use venv, but only in CI to make sure that other people's environments don't get messed up. I personally prefer using pip3 install --user.

I'm guessing you just never use Python 2? Otherwise it's hard to see how you don't run into issues.

      All packages that matter were already ported, some new packages work only with version 3, many popular packages already dropped support for python 2, a lot will drop in December. Most (all? actually I don't know any from your list that do) packages that you listed are no longer maintained

  If he is running "pip3" it would never affect python2, will it? Except for PYTHONPATH variable, 2 and 3 worlds are completely separate.

Same here, never been a problem in two decades. For a big work project I’m using pipenv, or a container but it’s rare.
