Python PEP 668 - working with "externally managed environment"

Python Linux users would have noticed that python is now an "externally managed environment" on newer releases of most OS. That is indeed the case for Debian 10/Bookworm and thus TurnKey v18.x.

Upcoming TurnKey v17.0/Bullseye apt repo changes - Bullseye users may need to manually clear caches

If you are using either of the v17.0rc1 appliances or any TurnKey Linux appliance with a Debian Bullseye/11 base OS, please be sure to clear your apt caches - after I push the infrastructure updates. Check the first line of this post to see whether the updates have been applied yet or not.

Note: Previous and existing TurnKey Linux stable releases are not affected!

If you experience any issues which you think may be related to these updates; please let us know, giving as much detail as possible.
