Debian 12, and possible other OS future releases follow PEP 668
<https://peps.python.org/pep-0668/>
This causes refusal to manually install packages with python
interpreters, unless the --break-system-packages option is specified.
The Debian provided python3 interpreter packages (python3.11 and pypy3) are
now marked as being externally-managed, following PEP-668. The version of
python3-pip provided in Debian follows this, and will refuse to manually
install packages on Debian's python interpreters, unless the
--break-system-packages option is specified.
python3 -m pip install weewx --user
Results in
-----------------------------------------------------
"error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.
If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
sure you have python3-full installed.
If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,
it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.
See /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv for more information.
note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python
installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the
risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing
--break-system-packages."
---------------------------------------------
So to install with pip you need to do:
python3 -m pip install weewx --user --break-system-packages
And to upgrade:
python3 -m pip install weewx --upgrade --user --break-system-packages
Thanks,
Paul
