   COULD be ...

   But I still note that things that worked clean
   and easy pre-VENV now DON'T.

   Who/what should I blame ?

   There's no POINT in a 'virtual environment/machine'
   unless you PLAN to isolate the base machine from
   the application to various degrees.

   Too fuckin' old now, not gonna get into a million
   details and sub-sub-sub-config-files. I just report
   that some lower-level OS commands no longer work
   as expected, or at all, using the usual Python
   utilities for doing so.

   I want the VENV *dead* ... CAN that be done ???

   Or do I have to go back to 2020 versions of Linux ?
