Yes, you should use a Python venv in a container like docker (www.bitecode.dev)

Soon, you won't have a choice because major distros are adopting PEP 668. This will make pip install fail in the default system Python and show an error telling you to use a virtual environment.

Well, if this is true then why bother convincing people ;)

So ... if I want to use a python module like, for example, mcstatus in a live shell for convenience I first need to create a venv, activate it, install the package and then use it? And then either have dozens of venvs somewhere or remake them every time?

Use pipx or uv --run
