I had to learn this by FUBAR'ing my system a long time ago, but my setup process for working with a python package from PyPI (i.e. not installable by or updated enough in OS's package manager) nowadays is: - sudo apt install pip3 - pip3 install --user --upgrade pipenv (In workdir): - pipenv install --three package - pipenv run package --option Works like a charm and doesn't mess with my system.
