I use FreeBSD. I have morphed into using python rather than perl for various scripts. A number of packages I use are either in python or use it. I have previously installed via pip the modules to support my commands as root. Should I (try to) move to a system wide environment? I have got it to work on a 12.4 and 13.1 system to install an application that had stuff that conflicted with my system-wide stuff.
Create a venv and install the packages you need inside it with pip.
Use the python3 inside the venv to run your scripts. You can create
the venv and run scripts as root if you want, that’s fine. If your
scripts also need to import some modules installed from FreeBSD
packages instead of with pip, you can use the --system-site-packages
option when creating the venv and then it will be able to see them
without any risk of overwriting their files in the system context.
I will try that, thank you
