The system-wide Python installation in Gentoo should be maintained
using the system package manager (e.g. emerge).
If the package in question is not packaged for Gentoo, please
consider installing it inside a virtual environment, e.g.:
python -m venv /path/to/venv
. /path/to/venv/bin/activate
pip install mypackage
To exit the virtual environment, run:
deactivate
The virtual environment is not deleted, and can be re-entered by
re-sourcing the activate file.
