If I pin a version of Python, isn't that going to wreck any tooling that depends on it? Unless you're saying have multiple versions of Python installed. This is practically the only remaining annoyance I have with the Python ecosystem (relative imports aside). I use some tools, like Glances [0] whose formula relies on a much newer version (3.12) than the actual package requires (3.8) [1]. So when there's a Python update, all of those update as well. I thought I'd fixed this with pipx, but in a way that's worse, because the venvs it builds depend on a specific version of Python existing, which doesn't work well with brew always wanting to upgrade it. I want a stable, system-level Python that I don't touch, don't add packages to, and which only exists as a dependency for anything that needs it. If an update would break a package I have installed (due to Python library deprecation, etc.), it should warn me before updating. Otherwise, I don't care, as long as any symlinks are taken care of. Separately, I want a stable, user-level Python that I can do whatever I want to. Nothing updates it automatically. I can accomplish this by compiling Python and using `make altinstall`, but if there's a better way, I'd love to hear about it.
