Cannot install ddcci-plasmoid-backend without pip and --break-system-packages argument #83

I tried every other method recommended. pipx doesn't exist and I'm unable to find it in the repositories to install, pip warns externally-managed-environment and tells you to use pacman. Neither pacman nor pamac are able to find the python-ddcci-plasmoid-backend or ddcci-plasmoid-backend packages.

$ pip install --user ddcci-plasmoid-backend
error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try 'pacman -S
python-xyz', where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.

If you wish to install a non-Arch-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using 'python -m venv path/to/venv'.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip.

If you wish to install a non-Arch packaged Python application,
it may be easiest to use 'pipx install xyz', which will manage a
virtual environment for you. Make sure you have python-pipx
installed via pacman.

note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.

The Arch Linux package you're looking for is python-pipx.
