Description

To avoid permission issues and version mismatches between projects, pip should install using --user and maybe inside .zero/pip_modules folder. This would also likely require appending PATH to these modules as environment variable when spawning python process in handler-python.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the handler python code to find where pip install is executed, modify it to use ` user` and install into `.zero/pip modules`, then ensure PATH includes that directory when spawning Python processes.
