Say I need to install some Python project ‘foo’.

It has a requirements.txt or setup.py or setup.cfg or pyproject.toml or omgwtf.python that lists psycopg2 as a dependency.

But on my install target I don’t have a C toolchain or libpq headers, and it’s not particularly feasible to install one, so I want to install foo using psycopg2-binary instead of psycopg2.

Is there any way to do this with pipx install git+https://web.site/foo w/o cloning the sources and locally patching the Python dependencies – which might express this dependency in any of several inscrutable and overlapping forms due to the currently perl-esque TMTOWTDI nature of Python builds and dependency management?
