Rosdep fails to install pip packages on Python3.11+ #978

Closed InvincibleRMC closed 3 weeks ago

InvincibleRMC commented 1 month ago

In Python3.11+ rosdep fails to install pip packages because python wants virtual environments to be used. ROS does not yet support virtual environments yet.

  executing command [pip3 install -U -q pytest-qt]
  WARNING: Skipping /usr/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/argcomplete-3.1.4.dist-info due to invalid metadata entry 'name'

  error: externally-managed-environment

  × This environment is externally managed
  ╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
      python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
      install.

      If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
      create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
      Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
      sure you have python3-full installed.

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

      See /usr/share/doc/python3.12/README.venv for more information.

  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.
