Also, depending on what you are doing, something I have found myself do a lot as of late is to just:

$ docker run -v $PWD:$PWD alpine:3.19 sh -c "cd $PWD; sh -i"

A little bit unwieldy, but it just puts you into a clean environment. Then you can just:

$ apk add -U python3 py3-sqlite

and now you can hack away. =) There's probably a better container for python specifically, but aside from the container image, the rest is universal. It helps to isolate away sometimes. Doesn't help for fixed installs though...
