Hi, I’m starting with PlatformIO on ESP32 and I’m getting this error:

This looks like something during the build is trying to make a system wide install of some python packages. I have tried to create a venv and run platformio run from inside it, but the error doesn’t change.
Is there some way to work around this (Other than installing / downgrading the dependencies as system packages)?
