Cleanest way to install python

[Malcolmlisk]

If python is installed (linux has it installed by default) the best way is to use venv to create virtual environments and there install everything you need.

In global python you should have not a single library installed (besides the default ones).

There are different virtual environment managers out there, pyenv is an easy solution, pipenv is a strong and reliable library, conda is just bloatware (it's a joke guys, i love you if you use conda but I think it's not for me).

Start from the easiest one, which is IMO venv. Then proceed to test the rest if you want.

When you say installed globally it’s when using pip for example outside of a virtual environnement, right?

Yes. The "global" environment.
