Description
pipx solves the problem of system tools depending on python installations, of which you may have one (a problem because messing with the system python is dicey), or many (a problem because you have to keep version-gardening).
Even if you're disciplined and keep as much as possible in virtualenvs, you still end up having to install one system tool outside of a virtual environment... pipx (the call is coming from inside the house!). If it would be welcome, I'm considering trying to freeze pipx into a static binary using PyOxidizer. It would then be pretty easy to deploy on different package managers etc. and generally be a "real" system tool, isolated from the system and other un-virtualenv'd pythons. Once pipx is installed, other python-based system tools are a breeze to install.
However, I suspect there might be some interaction between PyOxidizer and the bits of pipx which complain about being used in a virtualenv. I'll see what happens.
