Can I no longer install python packages using pip3?

[Rob Frohne]

There is another way, just delete the file: "/usr/lib/python3.x/EXTERNALLY-MANAGED".   This makes things work like they did in Ubuntu 22.10 and before.

I have recently upgraded one of my systems to Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar

have gone too far (for me anyway).



well, this is just Ubuntu (and debian as well) following an
upstream
PEP request:

Yes, OK, it's a new Python policy rather than Ubuntu's.  I was just
feeling a bit frustrated! :-)




i agree it is awful and the possible workarounds are not really
workarounds either (which is why i put them into quotes in the original
response :) ) ... but i guess this is the future of python (i heard
most other distros will follow it too...)

ciao
