I should not have appended 'youtube_dl' to the path. I used the content from /home/tim/.local/share/pipx/shared/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pipx_shared.pth
("/home/tim/.local/share/pipx/shared/lib/python3.12/site-packages") and added that to /usr/lib/python3.12/sitecustomize.py as appended to sys.path
and it appears to be solved.
