I cant use ‘pip3 install xx’ because I get the “externally managed environment” error. I have to create a virtual environment to use pip.
But surely this isn’t the right way to do it? There’s no way that every time I start a new project, no matter how small it is, I have to install things like pandas or numpy every single time, and end up with like 50+ installations of the same packages?
Why can’t you just install a python package on your system as you do on Windows/Linux? I’ve read some comments saying that this is the right approach to prevent conflicts, but why is this not a problem for other OS?
