ok, what's the threat model?
Wonder if people who voted Remain in the UK would want to rejoin, ironic just as we potentially get a more subservient UK government that would like to rejoin.
if you listened to the press at the time you would imagine any leavers reading this would now be begging to get back in

Controversial opinion: the insistence on the venv bullshit is the stupidest decision made in programming languages in the past twenty years, and it is entirely unnecessary.
I've used Python for more than a decade on Arch Linux, across many machines at home and work. For essentially all of that time, I've been "sudo pip install"-ing to my heart's content. The number of times this has actually caused problems with my own Python scripts is less than the number of times I've had to help colleagues figure out venv bullshit in the past six months alone. The number of times that "sudo pip install" has caused breakage of anything except my own scripts is zero in ten years.
AFAICT the Python core team has essentially no understanding of the level of sophistication and the actual pain points experienced by 95% of Python users. Python is the software equivalent of duct tape, and it is used accordingly. Putting the duct tape in a box that is hard to open and covered with warning labels is not a meaningful improvement.
site_packages was annoying from the start

11 years later, nothing has changed.
Just to name one example of something I ran into last year...: Install the 'az' Azure CLI into your docker image? Boom, 1.4 GB extra space wasted! Why you ask? Well, for one, every subcommand bundles its own Python runtime.
welcome to venv, not just windows

Baldbvrhunter commented on Ask HN: NoScript (Firefox) is asking for ever expanding permissions. Why? · Posted by u/extractionmech
Which OS? I haven't seen it on Linux or Mac OS High Sierra
perhaps the permission system is becoming more fine grained on your system
