pipx ^1 create an isolated venv for the package
doesn't need admin permissions

the installation command is the same

pipx install git+https://github.com/langfield/ki.git

Thanks for the interest! Sorry, I probably won't do this. The state of venv-like solutions in python is crazy and I want no part of it. Also, pip doesn't need admin permissions unless you're messing with your system python (which you probably shouldn't be).

Fair enough, but keep in mind that:

pipx is maintained by the PyPA
A lot of problems regarding dependency conflicts etc can be completely avoided with pipx, as it creates (without any user interaction) a virtualenv and installs the required packages.

At least maybe adding a reference to the fact that it can be used could be good for newcomers, but your project your rules
