Answer 1

If you're using PyCharm, this can be solved by following the steps here. In case that link breaks, here are the instructions:

---

• Assuming a project test_pkg_install_m1 with venv virtual environment inside

• Create pythonM1 file inside test_pkg_install_m1/venv/bin with the following content:

#!/usr/bin/env zsh
mydir=${0:a:h}
/usr/bin/arch -x86_64 $mydir/python "$@"

• Make the file executable with chmod +x pythonM1
• Add new interpreter in Preferences -> Project ... -> Project Interpreter targeting pythonM1 as executable

Now all Python processes running by PyCharm will be executed with arch -x86_64 including package installation.
