Hello,
I wonder that today was the first day I stumbled over PEP668 / pipx and
the "externally-managed-environment" problem. I migrated from Debian 11
to 12.
I'm developing some Python packages; applications and libraries. I never
used virtual environments and wouldn't like to start with it.
But I do use "--editable" for my packages. I wonder how I should go on
with using "pipx" and "--editable" mode because I had some problems with
it I couldn't fix following PEP668 but only with using
"--break-system-packages". And PEP668 do not mention editable-mode.
The two example packages I use here are public available and clonable
(is this a word?) via git.
Let's start with a command line application named "hyperorg"
(https://codeberg.org/buhtz/hyperorg).
I tried to install it via "pipx install -e .[develop]". It's
pyproject.toml has a bug: A missing dependency "dateutil". But
"dateutil" is not available from PyPi for Python 3.11 (the default in
Debian 12). But thanks to great Debian they have a "python3-dateutil"
package. I installed it.
But "hyperorg" do ignore it and can't import it. Of course I
re-installed hyperorg via pipx.
Installing it via "pip" and "--break-system-packages" it works well and
do see the "python3-dateutil" package.
The second example is a "library" named "buhtzology"
(https://codeberg.org/buhtz/buhtzology).
Here it seems that "pipx" do refuse to install it in the first place
("pipx install -e .[develop]") and gave me this message.
"No apps associated with package buhtzology. Try again with
'--include-deps' to include apps of dependent packages, which are listed
above. If you are attempting to install a library, pipx should not be
used. Consider using pip or a similar tool instead."
What is the difference between an "app" (it is a google/apple marketing
term used for software with user interaction. Just name it application.)
and a "library" in context of pip(x)? Why does it count?
I tried again with "pipx install --include-deps -e .[develop]" and got
an output I'm not sure if this is an error or a success message. I
assume it is an error because I'm not able to "import buhtzology". It
seems like that the package was not installed.

not using them. In my own work I haven't see a use case where I needed
them. And I expect that some day I'll encounter a use case for it. This
here is not about pro and cons of virtual environments.
Please explain how the two problems I explained are influenced by not
using virtual environments.
As I explained I tried to use "pipx" (the X at the end!) because it
seems to be the recommended way today because of PEP668. And to my
knowledge pipx do use a virtual environment in the back. Nice.
But it did not work the way I expected.
I don't say that pipx is wrong or buggy. I assume I misunderstood
something in context of PEP668 and in the use of pipx. That is why I'm
asking here.

different version of python than the system one. If you need an earlier
version of python then you can use it instead.
The second problem can be avoided because virtual environments exist in
a part of the file system that you have write access to, so you don't
need to use sudo to install packages. Your main user account does not
have write access to /usr/bin.
Also when a virtual environment is activated the path to it's packages
is a part of that environment so your code will always be able to import
the packages you want.
It's much easier to understand if you try it for yourself. Google has
many excellent resources, here is one
https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-setup-virtual-environments-in-python/
Best of luck :)

I have multiple versions of Python on both Windows and Linux machines.

I don't have to use the system version. On Windows the "py" launcher
can launch any Python version on your system.

that its own packages are used. The one thing that can cause problems
is programs in the Python Scripts directory, which may not be on the
path for a particular version of Python. A virtual environment will
take case of that, but I almost never run scripts in that directory so
it's not an issue for me.
I think there are situations where a venv is useful, but not because of
the points you have asserted here. For myself, I find that after a
while, I tend to forget what I set up the various venvs for, and what
state they are in. So I have stopped using them. I just put up with
having more packages in /site-packages than a particular applications
needs. If I want to, say, work on code in a git clone's directory tree,
I launch Python using a batch file that sets the PYTHONPATH to point there.

Thanks for your reply. btw: I do know what a virtual environment is and
how its works. No need to explain. And again: I do expect "pipx" to use
virtual environments. So this thread is not about pro and cons of using

are used in that case.
Maybe I made not the problem clear enough: The problem is that the
installed application ("hyperorg") did not see the system package
"python3-dateutils".
How can I solve this without(!) using another Python version?
The behavior that the pipx-installed application is not able to see
system python packages (installed via "apt install python3-dateutils")
is unexpected to me.
Maybe there is a good reason for that? Explain it please?
Maybe I did something wrong? How can I make it right?
Maybe it is a bug or a use case that is not covered by current version
of pipx or Debian 12?

Also here I assume I didn't make my problem clear enough.
I tried to install a library (from source) with "pipx". But it did not
work somehow (no clear error message). The global python interpreter
did not see that library.
Why?

Traditional Hash
This is the classic form of hash, typically found in brick or slab form. It has a distinctive aroma and a smooth, earthy flavor.
Bubble Hash
Bubble hash is created using ice water and agitation to separate the trichomes from the plant material. It's known for its purity and potency.
Afghan Hash
Afghan hash is renowned for its strong, sedative effects and earthy taste. It's often dark and sticky in texture.
Moroccan Hash
Moroccan hash is known for its sweet, spicy flavor and a mellow, relaxing high. It's usually light in color and has a crumbly texture.

PyPI does have several packages with "dateutil" in their name. From the
version number (2.8.2) I guess that "python-dateutil" is the one
packaged in Debian 12.
This can be installed via pip:

name. That certainly occurs in the universe of Python packages on PyPI;
it's if anything much more likely on Linux distributions which have to
share the package name namespace with a lot more than just Python
packages (just for starters, what seems like billions of Perl packages),
so you're even more likely to see names like python-foo or python3-foo
when the thing you import is foo. That has nothing to do virtualenvs,
of course.
The use of a virtualenv for a project actually makes it more likely that
you discover unstated dependencies, which is generally a good thing.

I would like to know and understand why my via "pipx" installed package
"hyperorg" is not able to see the systems packages installed via "apt
install python3-dateutils"?
Is this the usual behavior? Is this correct?
What is the design decision behind it?
Is it really the intention of PEP668 that pipx-installed packages are
not allowed to use system packages?

Yes. By default, the virtualenv contains just what you've installed.

It's designed to give you tight control over what's installed, so you
can track dependencies, avoid accidental inclusions, etc. As usual, you
don't have to accept the default. For example, for the venv module:
usage: venv [-h] [--system-site-packages] [--symlinks | --copies] [--clear]
[--upgrade] [--without-pip] [--prompt PROMPT] [--upgrade-deps]
ENV_DIR [ENV_DIR ...]
Creates virtual Python environments in one or more target directories.
positional arguments:
ENV_DIR A directory to create the environment in.
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--system-site-packages
Give the virtual environment access to the system
site-packages dir.

One way this could happen is if the hyperorg package got installed by a

different version of Python than the system version. I've lost track of
just how your installation is set up so this may not apply. But, for
example, if the system is using Python 3.10.x and you installed hyperorg
using Python 3.11, that would be such a situation. The apt-installed
packages will get installed into the system python directories, rather
than to the Python 3.11 directories.

Dear Peter,
maybe we have a missunderstanding.

Do I miss something here?
See https://pypi.org/project/dateutils/ and also the open Issue about
the missing support for Python 3.11
https://github.com/dateutil/dateutil/issues/1233 ?
