Not Debian specific. The braindead option was added by pip to scare off newbies.
No one with the most basic of sysad skills is “bricked” by having to uninstall a library. Again have not experienced a conflict in over 15 years.
Use the system package manager or buid yourself for tools like cmake.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoUninstalling a library - no. But I specifically mentioned trying to upgrade system Python, which is a quick way to break e.g. apt.
- mixmastamyk 2y agoOk, getting it now. I said upgrade python, and you thought I meant upgrade the system python in conflict with the distro. But that's not really what I meant. To clarify... I almost never touch the system python, but I upgrade the distro often. Almost every Ubuntu/Mint has a new system Python version these days. So upgrade to new distro release, it has a new Python. Then pip install --user your user tools, twine, httpie, ruff, etc. Takes a few moments, perhaps once a year. I do the same on Fedora, which I've been using more lately.
