python3 packages: at least some packages can't be used if installed via pkgman -H

[OscarL]

Writing this one down before I forget.

At least some packages can't be used properly if installed via pkgman -H.

Example:

pkgman -H ./coverage_python310-7.4.3-1-x86_64.hpkg, then:

> python3 -c "import coverage"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'coverage'

and trying to run coverage:

> coverage
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/boot/home/config/bin/coverage", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('coverage==7.4.3', 'console_scripts', 'coverage')())
  File "/boot/home/config/bin/coverage", line 22, in importlib_load_entry_point
    for entry_point in distribution(dist_name).entry_points
  File "/packages/python3.10-3.10.13-3/.self/lib/python3.10/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 969, in distribution
    return Distribution.from_name(distribution_name)
  File "/packages/python3.10-3.10.13-3/.self/lib/python3.10/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 548, in from_name
    raise PackageNotFoundError(name)
importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: No package metadata was found for coverage

Just in case: installing coverage as system package does works properly.

[OscarL]

installing packages via pip --user do work, AFAICT. (my usual go to is pip --user pyserial)

[OscarL]

Those sysconfig.get_paths('haiku_home') paths DO look wrong thou (python vs python3.10).
