I found pipenv works well. A package jrnl wouldn't run once built with pip but does run inside pipenv. This creates a virtual environment for building and running packages so once jrnl got built doing pipenv run jrnl runs the program. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Some time ago, PEP 668[1] enabled distributions to mark the python installation as externally managed by a package manager, thus preventing pip from breaking the system by either installing packages to the system or locally in the home folder.

A good rationale - question on packaging for things that fall outside the system repos.
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
Will this continue to work or is there some change needed to accommodate this change?
I didn't see "--root" discussed in reference [1]
