No

You're using setuptools, that does choose by default the path : /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ for package installation, which does require root permissions to R&W.

if you run the script as a non-root user, you'll get an error :

!!

To avoid that you need to add --user to the end of the command, probably cool to add it to the installation Wiki.

python3 setup.py install --user
