If you don't want to mess around with virtual envs, you can simply "pip install
--user", which writes to ~/Library/Python/.... You do need to add
~/Library/Python/3.8/bin
(assuming python 3.8) to your PATH, but the corresponding python module path is
automagically used by python. I typically either use macports to install the
macport-ified python package, or pip as above.
