Installing via uv when on an externally-managed Python environment

[edent]

When I try to use pip install beets I get this error:

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.

The version in apt is rather outdated. So I installed it with

uv tool install beets --with requests --with flask

There's some documentation at https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/tools/#installing-tools

This seems to work just fine! My questions are:

• Does this need anything other than requests and flask?
• Ought this be in the official documentation?

Thanks for a brilliant bit of Open Source :-)
