Re: [IBMiOSS] Do worry - Python newbie calling

Hi Craig,
When doing so I still get the same problem:
# python -m pip install xlsxwriter
error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try yum install
python313-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.

If you wish to install a Python package not available via the package manager,
create a virtual environment using python3.13 -m venv path/to/venv.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip.

If you wish to install a Python application not available via the package
manager, it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a virtual
environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.

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.

Thanks,

Best regards

Stefan
