Debian 12.1 (Bookworm) - fresh install
Description of problem:
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
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/python3.11/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.

Welcome to a new world of python fun
You can force it to allow system wide installs.
The idea is to use apt packages for everything system wide so pip doesn't clash and damage the system.
Local users are fine (no sudo) or use virtual python environments to keep everything contained.
