I am trying to install the latest version of orca screen reader which
requires dasbus. It uses meson rather than the normal way to install
things. If I try to use pip to install dasbus, it gets very unhappy
and gives me the following error:
pip install dasbus
error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
\u2570─>
The system-wide Python installation in Gentoo should be maintained
using the system package manager (e.g. emerge).
If the package in question is not packaged for Gentoo, please
consider installing it inside a virtual environment, e.g.:
python -m venv /path/to/venv
. /path/to/venv/bin/activate
pip install mypackage
To exit the virtual environment, run:
deactivate
The virtual environment is not deleted, and can be re-entered by
re-sourcing the activate file.
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.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
