The latest Python 3 should be installed in some sensible way to manage updates to it, and ensure all users are using the same version and libraries.
We'll need the new database adaptor library Psycopg3, which can be simply installed for all users via pip, together with the bare minimum of libraries we are likely to use, e.g. Astropy and its Numpy / Scipy dependencies. We can/should maintain a list of the libraries we need (and their versions) for the new software - which can be done in the README.md of the new source code repository.
