Baulking at the amount of huge updates flatpak applications bring (3.3gb last night of libraries, for 2 installed flatpaks, displaycal and luminance hdr), I’m looking to see about getting Displaycal installed natively.
From what I understand, Displaycal has now been ported to Python 3, and should be installable using pip https://pypi.org/project/DisplayCAL/3.9.10/
pip install DisplayCAL==3.9.10
However it fails to do so on my machine!
brian@Giger:~$ pip install DisplayCAL
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

Any suggestions? I’ve had a look on the pixls.us forum, but not really found any information about getting Displaycal Python 3 verson installed natively
