errors out - python traceback ~pipx/managed environments~

[iconoclasthero]

What is setup.py install doing? How can I do it with pipx in a managed environment like Ubuntu? What does the config file look like so I don't have to use this? etc?

$ python setup.py install
['tests', 'weather']

error: can't create or remove files in install directory

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:

    [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/test-easy-install-345788.write-test'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    /usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account.  If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.

For information on other options, you may wish to consult the
documentation at:

  https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/deprecated/easy_install.html

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.

I guess since I was able to install all the dependencies with apt ($ apt install python3-dependency), pipx isn't an issue with this repo....however after I ran the setup with sudo ($ sudo python setup.py install -- something I was loath to do, hopefully it isn't going to cause an issue with the managed environment), I've got this:
