Public bug reported:
Supossedly, pipx is just another python package manager, built on top of
pip (see https://software.codidact.com/posts/289427). There are many
differences and use cases for pipx that may be desirable for a user. But
it's just a package manager ... so why does it require javascript?
bootstrap? mkdocs? fonts? sphinx? node?
Seems too much for just a package manager. I'm using pip and pipx only
in a headless installation in ther terminal, running inside Windows WSL
(no GUI).
