Ah, oops, a typo.  It's pysheet (I have pk on the brain from it being
Point Kilometrique, distance markers on canals in France).

Thanks for your previous response, it told me what I needed to know,
that pipx isn't really going to do what I want particularly easily.


If I DIY an environment for pysheet and then develop some python that
uses it, how do I then make it accessible as a 'normal' program? This
is just for my own use by the way, on (probably) just a couple of
Linux systems.
