Absolutely. You should almost never be pip-installing global things (of course there are circumstances, but you should know exactly why you are choosing to do it, vs an env).

Vanilla pip works well with the venv module. I still manually manage the majority of my virtual environments, with the virtualenvwrapper libary, although `source path/to/myvenv/bin/activate` also works.

Pipx is great for installing executable tools.
