There’s nothing to “fix” - what you’re seeing is working as designed - installing python modules using both pip and an external package manager can cause all sorts of problems with version conflicts.

Using a virtual environment is the proper way to do this. An alternative would be to use a Docker or podman container to contain the script.

Another alternative may be to use --user to install the package in the user home directory. But virtual environments are the standard way of handling this.
