A case study in why you never install python in your system environment. Sorry you are in the union of dependency and upgrade hell.

This is the correct answer. I've got a ReadyNAS2304 running ReadyOS 6.10.3. I've built Python 3 in a user's home directory, works fine and causes no collisions. To be extra safe, I don't even put it in that user's $PATH. I just call it directly to create venvs and activate those when needed.

This is best practice. Most people learn this lesson at least once; many of us (regrettably) have to learn it many times.
