They do work fine, but in some cases (i.e. research environments) you
need to support older/newer interpreter versions than the one find in
the distribution, i.e. running Python3.12 on a Buster system, or you
need a specific combination of numpy, pandas or specific set
(pytorch+cuda+openblas) built with GPU support for newer hardware such
Nvidia H100/A100 cards, etc. For such cases, I have been able to
detach Python libraries for the application from the system Python
libraries, allowing system updates without impact on the application
layer. I wish there would be a better system (requires admin rights)
vs application (without admin rights requirements) split among the OS.
