alsa-midi install error

[ksipp01]

when running this:
python3 -m pip install alsa-midi
results in error: externally-managed-environment

this suggestion works:
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install alsa-midi

Thanks for sharing your solution. What operating system are you using? When I installed it, I did not get any error. Maybe the problem you have is related to your system configuration.
