I haven't used pipx, but as far as I understand, pipx = pip + venv. If your pip executable is in a virtualenv, the "globally installed" is locally installed.

pipx, poetry, pipenv and co are still nice wrappers to have, I suppose. It just feel less useful now that most of my projects are dockerized.




pipx looks nice. Is there any way to persuade it to install 'wheel' before it installs the desired package?

That way 'pipx install foo' can download and install wheels rather than downloading source distributions and building/installing them...
