I live in a country that also blocks services, mostly streaming platforms. In theory, the way behind this is the same whether to watch Netflix or download python and its dependencies. That is you’ll probably need to use a VPN.

As said by d-dutchveiws, there’s tons of videos and resources on how to set up a VPN. If you do end up using a paid VPN service I would just like to add that I lived in the UAE for a while and I found that some VPN services were blocked by the country themselves. I know NordVPN did not work/was blocked by the UAE so I ended up finding expressVPN and that worked. In other words, I’d be sure not to commit to any payment plan/only use free trials because even the VPN services can be blocked. Hope I helped a bit!
