This system-wide Python installation is managed by the Void Linux package
manager, XBPS. Installation of Python packages from other sources is not
normally allowed.
To install a Python package not offered by Void Linux, consider using a virtual
environment, e.g.:
python3 -m venv /path/to/venv
/path/to/venv/pip install <package>
Appending the flag --system-site-packages to the first command will give the
virtual environment access to any Python package installed via XBPS.
Invoking python, pip, and executables installed by pip in /path/to/venv/bin
should automatically use the virtual environment. Alternatively, source its
activation script to add the environment to the command search path for a shell:
. /path/to/venv/activate
After activation, running
deactivate
will remove the environment from the search path without destroying it.
The XBPS package python3-pipx provides pipx, a convenient tool to automatically
manage virtual environments for individual Python applications.
