As you pasted-it, it does not accomplish venv:

  - you still need to change PYTHON_PATH to recognize libs from `libs`
  - packages have bin scripts sometimes that most likely, will be needed by the project
A more proper command: - pip install -t ./libs --install-option="--install-scripts=./bin"

But still, does not solve the PYTHON PATH issue, it won't be solvable because all python cli tools and all scripts in ./bin must be aware of PYTHON_PATH including ./libs

This is what venv does and pip alone cannot easily solve, replicating an entire python environment that is aware of project local pip packages

My commands do set PYTHON PATH when running the app.

As for the cli tools, fair enough, but the packages I use with such tools/scripts are full applications, not dependencies to be included in another project. Which kinds of packages do you see as both dependencies and containing CLI tools?
