Crash & Error

krishna@torque:~$ python3 -m pip install pip
error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
    python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
    install.
    
    If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
    create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
    Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
    sure you have python3-full installed.
    
    If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,
    it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
    virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.
    
    See /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv for more information.

note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.

Your environment

• CPython versions tested on: Python 3.11.2
• Operating system and architecture: Debian 11, Gnome 42, x86_64

It was working until today its howing this error. sell & setuptools are installed.
I am just trying to install or update python module & for every module, its showing this error.

[JelleZijlstra]

This looks like Debian patched something (either pip or CPython itself) to nudge you towards using virtual environments. If that doesn't work for you, please report it to Debian.

I have same thing after I installed some packages on kali. I guess that python, and so on pip got updated. The virtual env. does work, and I can install modules, but, the python scripts does not detect any module, and gives the: "error: no module named [module]".

[DavidMcSalley97]

this works for me , it says at the end of the error message --break-system-package.

I got the same thing on my kali box.

[jetsup]

I did a full system upgrade in my Kali machine, python3 --version now became 3.11.2 and in turn all the modules I had installed though pip3 cannot be found and, on top, I am getting the error errror: externally-managed-environment.
