It would be nice to include documentation/information about how pipx differs from pipsi...

This is helpful! Could you also add a comparison to https://github.com/jaraco/rwt ? My quick assessment is that RWT handles dependency loading in multiple scenarios, including running a module binary directly from PyPI, whereas pipx is focused on that use-case and can therefore provide simpler invocations.

@kwill that is exactly right.

pipx also allows you to install to the filesystem permanently, whereas RWT only works in ephemeral environments.
