Use virtualenv for each project. Or if you really want /usr/local/lib you can create soft link. Changing the path may be stupid idea

Leave it in peace where is; then in your project path do: python3 -m venv .venv.
this is your new (per project) python path and you can make love with it without OS complaining.
