You can move the /etc/apt/preferences.d/lambda-repository file or change the priority level within the file to lower it as needed. Additionally, you can create a python virtual environment and customize the environment to your needs while still inheriting the site packages. You can refer to our docs page on the venv: [Virtual environments and Docker containers - Lambda Docs](https://docs.lambda.ai/education/programming/virtual-environments-containers/#creating-a-python-virtual-environment)
