Install requirements via apt?

Wondering whether apt install python3-tqdm would be better than pip install tqdm?

I don't usually like installing using apt, because then the lib version is system dependent

It already has a requirements.txt, so it probably should be the usual mkvirtualenv + pip install -r requirements.txt

Yep, that would be the best way. For system-wide installation, I understood that distribution packages should be preferred: https://veronneau.org/python-311-pip-and-breaking-system-packages.html

The README currently doesn't mention a version number, so the installation would be as random as using apt. With the requirements.txt, you get exactly what you've tested with.

To be clear, this has no priority, but if I didn't bring it up now, I'd forget about it.
