externally managed environment error- installing modules on pi5

I recently got a rp5 and flashed it with RNBO 1.3
I keep getting the error below when trying to install OSC modules like liblo or python-osc
'error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.
If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
sure you have python3-full installed.'
I went ahead and made a venvs and finally got a python script to run some sense-hat data. When i had to reboot the pi, i got stuck on a initramfs error and eventually had to reformat my sd card...
Could someone explain to me what went wrong? Am i corrupting the RNBO file structure by running python scripts through venvs?
For reference, I have a rpi5 with a sense-hat that i hope to send accelerometer to rnbo to control various parameters. Apologies for the noob question! I am new to python, pi and RNBO.
thanks!

I don't know all the details about debian and pip but it seems that with bookworm they've moved to suggesting against pip package installation mostly.
Fortunately the liblo library for python is available in debian's apt repos.
sudo apt-get install python3-libloOnce you do this you can run example code like this
import liblo
server = liblo.Server(8080)
def test_handler(path, args, types, src):
print(args)
server.add_method("/test", None, test_handler)
while True:
server.recv(100)
