How did you tell other people/noobs to run your python code (or how did you run it yourself after 5+ years of not touching older projects)?

    Thankfully some newer systems will error by default if you try to mess with them via pip instead of your system's package manager. Easy to override if you want to, and saves a lot of effort fixing accidental screw ups.
