That's what I'm talking about. You wildly mix commands together that don't
go together. And whatever is off with your paths. Things of pipx installed
packages should be in .local/bin and .local/shared/pipx. At least on Debian
that's the default. No idea what you did.

You are, your last comment is more than proof enough.

You should just remove everything you installed with pipx, create a
separate venv - without using pipx! - and solely work inside it. And don't
touch pipx for anything that's not meant as a standalone CLI  program, like
yt-dlp, speedtest and the sorts. Maybe that way you can't do that much
wrong.

At this point this is hardly a Debian related topic. You should first learn
more about Python venvs and their package managers.
