Reinstall old Python libraries after update
Recently, Python updated from 3.11 to 3.12 and now all my libraries are gone. Actually they're in the old 3.11 site-packages, but now that `python` points to 3.12 those are not active. Every time I run a program I'm used to, I get a bunch of import errors, and have to reinstall the dependencies. I know how to do it, but it's tedious. Isn't there a way to carry over the 3rd party packages that were installed on the old Python, but not "internal" stuff like `setuptools` and `pip`? Those are usually part of the Python distribution and I don't want nor need to mess with them.
