pip-installed python tools don't work inside the toolbox

[hferreiro]

I use pip/pipx to install python tools. If I do that on the host, the tool doesn't work on the toolbox. If I install on the toolbox, the tool doesn't work on the host:

$ pipx install jrnl
Installing to existing venv 'jrnl'
  installed package jrnl 2.7.1, Python 3.9.5
  These apps are now globally available
    - jrnl
done! ✨ 🌟 ✨
$ jrnl --version                                                              
jrnl version v2.7.1
[..]
$ toolbox enter --container fedora-toolbox-32                                 
$ jrnl
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/home/hferreiro/.local/bin/jrnl", line 5, in <module>
    from jrnl.cli import cli
ImportError: No module named jrnl.cli

Following the same example on pipx website:

[oliver@t480s src]$ pipx install cowsay
  installed package cowsay 4.0, Python 3.9.5
  These apps are now globally available
    - cowsay
done! ✨ 🌟 ✨
[oliver@t480s src]$ cowsay Yeah
  ____
| Yeah |

     \
       ^__^
       (oo)\_______
       (__)\       )\/\
           ||----w |
           ||     ||
[oliver@t480s src]$ ./toolbox enter f34
⬢[oliver@toolbox src]$ cowsay moo
  ___

      (oo)\_______
      (__)\       )\/\
          ||----w |
          ||     ||
⬢[oliver@toolbox src]$ 

It worked with latest toolbox build

Maybe it is a problem with jrnl? (I will test with it also)

Tested with jrnl and it worked OOB

[oliver@t480s src]$ pipx install jrnl
  installed package jrnl 2.8.1, Python 3.9.5
  These apps are now globally available
    - jrnl
done! ✨ 🌟 ✨
[oliver@t480s src]$ ./toolbox enter f34
⬢[oliver@toolbox src]$ 
logout
[oliver@t480s src]$ jrnl --version
jrnl version v2.8.1

I found the issue. My toolbox is on Fedora 32, which defaults to python2. Using a Fedora 34 toolbox has no issues.
