have several packages where in the install section of PKGBUILD it does something like:
pipopts="--isolated --ignore-installed --no-deps" pip $pipopts install --root=$pkgdir dist/*.whl
Those packages are NOT following the python package guidelines in the wiki and should be adjusted.

I have only glimpsed at PEP 668, but it looks to be targeted at users , not packagers .
Thanks LW - it is not quite so clear, maybe it's just me. The python 3.11.3 docs recommend using pip to install python modules [1] "pip is the preferred installer program. Starting with Python 3.4, it is included by default with the Python binary installers." ... PEP 517 seems to confirm this [2] by showing pip as the frontend [3] as well as in the examples. So do the current standards/recommendations suggest 'pip install' or python -m installer? Best I could tell, pip is the recommended way forward. I'm very interested what other folks, with deeper knowledge / better understanding than mine, believe is the best approach. thanks gene [1] https://docs.python.org/3/installing/index.html [2] https://peps.python.org/pep-0517 [3] https://peps.python.org/pep-0517/#appendix-a-comparison-to-pep-516
