~/tmp $ python3 -m venv --copies testvenv ~/tmp $ testvenv/bin/pip install xkcdpass Collecting xkcdpass Using cached xkcdpass-1.19.3.tar.gz (2.6 MB) Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... done Installing collected packages: xkcdpass DEPRECATION: xkcdpass is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option.
