As part of removing support for Python 3.9, the slurm test container was updated (not in this repo) to use a more recent OS/Python version. That more recent version is more aggressive about protecting against root-level global installation of software using `pip` rather than using the OS-native package manager. This PR fixes that by using a virtualenv, which is consistent with the behaviour in the main CI environment.
