"I believe the current recommendation is to use a python virtual environment, which is a little bit of extra commands to make it work but it does work well. I would suggest looking through the group archive as I remember a lot of people have talked about this in the past"
I started installing into *--user* with *--break-system-packages*. I reasoned that Leo's dependencies would probably not affect the system install, and if they would, the system would already have installed its preferred version. What one would want to avoid is that Leo's install would try to update a package that system depends on. So far so good. With some Linux VMs I have been starting to use venvs. I understand the benefits but it's a nuisance for me to remember what VMs use them and what ones don't. and to remember to source bin/activate instead of just bin/activate.
