This just illustrates that the most recommended solution is not easy to use, many steps one could forget. And I guess if your package manager happens to update your default python, more/other steps will be necessary...

Venvs are self contained python environments, no interaction with system python.

For those already familiar with venvs, the above just condenses to “remove the old venv and create a new one”.
