pip/setuptools: Entry points not visible from pkexec-root-environment

[Weatherby,Gerard]

"sudo python3 -m pip
install -e ."

You’ve already started down a problematic road. I recommend installing root level Python packages through your system package manager. (apt for debian, or whatever RedHat is using now).

If a package you need isn’t available from the system level virtual environments are your friend.

I’ve never used pkexec. Generally, just use sudo. There’s an -E flag to preserve the environment. We generally write bash wrappers that set whatever environment we need.
