Installation
Install this library in a venv using pip. venv is a tool to
create isolated Python environments. The basic problem it addresses is one of
dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions.
With venv, it’s possible to install this library without needing system
install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system
dependencies.
