Could you please update for python 3.11?  When I try to run:

$ python3 ~/.local/src/k4ml/syspkg.py pkg ~/.venv/pkg
  File "/home/chandles/.local/src/k4ml/syspkg.py", line 12
    print e
    ^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(...)?
$

If I change to print(e) then it runs without error but doesn't seem to do anything either as nothing new is put into ~/.venv/pkg.
Thanks

It should work. The library will be copied to .venv/lib/python3.XX/site-packages/, not .venv/.

Got it!  Thanks!  Sorry...
