If you don't want to mess around with virtual envs, you can simply "pip install --user", which writes to ~/Library/Python/....  You do need to add
 ~/Library/Python/3.8/bin
(assuming python 3.8) to your PATH, but the corresponding python module path is automagically used by python.  I typically either use macports to install the macport-ified python package, or pip as above.
