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. It certainly did for me - at least initially. Marcos, a long term friend of TurnKey recently reached out to me to ask about the best way to work around this when developing on our Odoo appliance.
