04/30/2023, 1:14 PMI agree with this change. The title is misleading. What you can’t do is use pip to install to your systems Python env, but using a venv you can use pip as usual. I’ve always found to use pip install to your system env a bad practice that may be difficult to repair should it get broken.

05/01/2023, 1:42 PMYes. It's the best effort thing, isn't it. If you can control the machine scaffolding process, you could get this into the bashrc or something.
