Virtualenvs are your friend. I use pipx for Python utils not in my OS repos, never had a problem with that. (`pipx install yt-dlp` creates a venv in ~/.local/pi

Virtualenvs are your friend. I use pipx for Python utils not in my OS repos, never had a problem with that. (`pipx install yt-dlp` creates a venv in ~/.local/pipx/venvs, installs yt-dlp there, then symlinks the executables to ~/.local/bin.) For per-project dependencies, Poetry is pretty good, although there are other options too. For Ruby, I think Bundler is the venv/Poetry counterpart. Not sure what you could use for installing global tools though.
