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.

FWIW I think youtube_dl has largely been supplanted by the (maintained) 'yt-dlp' these days
