Struggling with Externally Managed Environment Setuptools: How to Properly Configure and Use It?

Hey! Dealing with externally managed environment setuptools can be tricky, but here’s a quick tip:

Make sure your setup.py is using `install_requires` instead of `requirements.txt`. This way, setuptools can better handle dependencies without stepping on the toes of your external environment.

Also, if you’re running into conflicts, try isolating your build environment with `virtualenv` or `conda`. It’s not perfect, but it can help avoid some of the mess.
