Yes, you should use a Python venv in a container like docker (www.bitecode.dev)

So ... if I want to use a python module like, for example, mcstatus in a live shell for convenience I first need to create a venv, activate it, install the package and then use it? And then either have dozens of venvs somewhere or remake them every time?

I am not sure what you mean. Once you created a venv you can always reuse it.

Yes, but it has to be somewhere. I don't want dozens of venv dirs in my homedir.

just to add to the other answers - no need to have them in your home dir (that sounds like it would suck). use a tool like uv tool or pipx , or just manually create any venv you need under a path you choose, say $HOME/.cache/venvs/
