Description-en: execute binaries from Python packages in isolated environments
pipx allows you to...
.
* Run the latest version of a CLI application from a package
in a temporary virtual environment,
leaving your system untouched after it finishes.
* Install packages to isolated virtual environments,
while globally exposing their CLI applications
so you can run them from anywhere.
* Easily list, upgrade, and uninstall packages
that were installed with pipx.
.
pipx runs with regular user permissions,
never calling "sudo pip install".
