Document the requirement to use a virtualenv to install Python packages (!1122) · Merge requests · ZIH / hpcsupport / hpc-compendium

Alexander Grund requested to merge pip-venv into preview Sep 30, 2024

All Python modules now export PIP_REQUIRE_VIRTUALENV=true.

This now causes an error when users try to use pip install without an active virtualenv.

This also avoids admins accidentally installing/changing Python packages in the global module.
