Suggestion: recommend `pipx` in README #295

Closed bryango closed 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The current README uses pip which by its default, pollutes the system environment.

Describe the solution you'd like It is now officially recommended to install CLI utils using pipx. See:

https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/installing-stand-alone-command-line-tools

Describe alternatives you've considered Upgrade README to recommend installation with pipx.

I've prepared #296 as an improvement!

andreafrancia commented 1 year ago

From the docs https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/installing-stand-alone-command-line-tools/ I understand that pipx does not work with older pythons.

For now I want to keep support for older pythons.

Thank you.

Ah I see! Thank you for pointing that out!

Maybe we can create two sections in the README, one dedicated to newer system and one dedicated to old system.
