On packit-dev.dide.ic.ac.uk, installing packit-deploy with pip or pip3 does not work (regardless of the presence of the --user flag): it gives the error 'error: externally-managed-environment', which goes on to encourage the use of a virtual environment, and lists pipx as an option for doing so. Looking at shell history on that host, this seems to be our de facto installation pattern.

Note that on the production version (packit.dide.ic.ac.uk), pip and pip3 are not installed, while pipx is.
