And according to that very GitHub, you have to downgrade Python to 3.10, or create a sandbox. I wish to do neither. For me, it’s cleaner to create a whole virtual environment than a sandbox.

I’m old school. Programs should not requires system-level changes, period end of sentence. I miss static compilation.

Miniconda drives me crazy and the one time I tried to use it, it changed my default python environment system-wide. I have been increasingly annoyed by Python’s having so absurdly many fractional versions, and its scripts refusing to work unless you supply them with version N.nnnn.nnn exactly. (Yes, I am exaggerating.) Here is the acceptable pace to make incompatible versions of a programming language: no more than every 2 years.
