installing with "pip" should be seamless
right now, installing python packages using pip not natively supported as it results in altering the default file system outlined by idx. pip is essential if something is providing Python support by default.
I know I can find a workaround using nix and vice versa still installing a package using pip shouldn't be this hard. Because it is extremely fundamental. Also, Google's choice to keep Python 3.10.X and 3.11.X a bad idea. Since I use some legacy libraries that uses 3.8.X and I am happy with that. the support should include older Python versions or a way to install custom Python version for working with legacy codebase and libraries.

I find this to be cornerstone of idx problems and if not addressed, I would have little to no incentive to use Idx over GitHub Codespaces.
