More recent versions of Debian and Ubuntu-based distributions are actively preventing the user from installing Python installations using
pip
Rather, the user should usepipx
for system-wide installations. This PR simply describes this, not more.Now, running
p2r
on Ubuntu 24.04 still fails with v0.9.12, but with the latest changes, it should run smoothly again (as long as the venv uses Python 3.11, as 3.12 comes with its own set of problems).Also, GitHub MD has a nifty little hidden gem, where you can specify which langauge a code listing is written in. I updated one of the existing listings to bash.
