Yep, ran into this last week. Python’s gotten stricter to avoid dependency chaos.

If you’re lazy like me, `--break-system-packages` *does* work, but it’s risky. Better to just spin up a venv:

python -m venv temp_venv
source temp_venv/bin/activate
pip install whatever
```

Or use `conda` if you’re into that.
