When trying to install konsave with pip like described in the README it doesn't work and the next message is fired:
× 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.
The solution is to use pipx (as stated in PEP668 ) or create manually a virtual environment witch my not be trivial for non-python users.
So I think it would be good to recommend pipx in the documentation for installation.

I use pipx a lot with Linux distributions that do not provide packages (or only very outdated versions) for Python-based utilities (e.g. konsave, pyinfra, hatch, borgmatic).
On Linux distributions with very recent default Python (>= 3.12) the following error will occur if installing via pipx:
Traceback (most recent call last):

A workaround is to add the setuptools package to the pipx environment:
