Package: python3-pip
Version: 23.0.1+dfsg-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
I do understand PEP-668, and majority of reasons behind it.
But please let me allow to disable this per-user (config and/or env variable)
and/or system-wide (via config), without passing --break-system-packages on
every
invocation of pip3. (shell alias is not good either).
Using virtualenv, venv, pyenv, pipx, is not an option or preference for me.
I believe one of the options is to remove /usr/lib/python3.11/EXTERNALLY-MANAGED
(via diversion?). If this is so, please document this in Chapter 5, section
5.2.2
of the bookworm release notes. And possibly in
/usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv or somewhere there.
Regards,
Witold

Hi Witold (2023.03.08_01:40:25_+0000)
Good news, I think everything you want has already been done:

Both are possible:
The environment variable is: PIP_BREAK_SYSTEM_PACKAGES=1
The config is:
[global]
break-system-packages = true
I'll add these to /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv but that
probably won't make it in time for bookworm.

This is documented in /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv already in
3.11.2-5.
