pipx is for installing python scripts as cli tools, as an end user.
Say there is a thing called ytb-dlp that lets you download YouTube videos. Instead of creating a virtualenv for it yourself, activating it, pip installing this thing inside it, and then having to cumbersomely use it like that..
pipx install ytb-dlp. It will do all of that for you and put it on your path.
> I have read on occasion that pyenv seems to be woefully unmaintained. If that is true, is it a good move to learn using poetry instead.
No.
