Ugh, externally managed environment setuptools is such a pain. I’ve been there too!
One thing that helped me was using `pip`'s `--prefix` option to install packages in a specific directory. This way, you can avoid messing with the external environment while still using setuptools.
Also, check out `wheel` for building your packages. It’s way cleaner than dealing with eggs or source distributions.
Good luck, and don’t let it drive you too nuts!
