It is both.  It is often used just as an application, but the procedures
that make up the application are just as often used in an interactive
Python session or as a library.

So I'm afraid, we need to install it with propagated inputs.

Stimulated by your question I rethought whether we might come around propagated inputs, and I did not find a solution. There must only be one version of a library in each profile, otherwise we'd get conflicts. We could provide our own implementation of site.py (or site-customize.py) to avoid *propagating*, but this would not avoid the *conflicts* but only hide the cause of the conflicts and make them hard to find (as we already discusses a year or two ago).

This is about wrapping (or not) using virtual envs.  I don’t really see
how this relates to this problem, but maybe I’m missing something
obvious.

Sorry for the confusion, this link shouldn't have been there. I had pasted it in since I thought it is related and I'm going to refer to is, but it is not.
