# We use a temporary venv to ensure we have all the external libraries we need.
# This removes the necessity of extra libs at runtime. If you're in an environment that doesn't have access to PyPI/pip,
# you'll need to customize the install host (typically the live CD/live USB) to have them installed as system packages.
# Before you hoot and holler about this, Let's Encrypt's certbot-auto does the same thing.
# Except I segregate it out even further; I don't even install pip into the system python.
