How can I use eyeD3 in Debian 12 with abcde since pep 668? I am trying to use abcde with output set to mp3 set in .abcde.conf. abcde does not find eyeD3, so I try to install. However, pip3/pip tell me to use virtual environments or install via apt install python3-eyed3 as far as I understand. After installation of python3-eyed3 however the path is still not found.
# apt install python3-eyed3

python3-eyed3 is already the newest version (0.9.7-1).
pip eyeD3 installation try. pip3 gives the same result.
# pip install eyeD3 
error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
    python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
    install.
    
    If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
    create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
    Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
    sure you have python3-full installed.
    
    If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,
    it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
    virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.
    
    See /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv for more information.

note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.
$ abcde
[ERROR] abcde: eyeD3 is not in your path.

[INFO] Hint: sudo apt-get install
~$ cat /etc/debian_version

I have had a look in [pep 668](https://peps.python.org/pep-0668/) and [eyeD3 installation docs](https://eyed3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#installation) . While understanding why the pep change happened I do not understand what to do.
