Slicer application’s Python environment is your “user-configured Python environment”. You can configure it as any other Python environments. As @muratmaga described, it would be impractical for you to set up and maintain a custom Python environment that is compatible with the Slicer application.

However, if you just want to import Slicer as a library into your Python environment and use some Slicer features from there (some widgets, algorithms, etc.) then you will be able to use [SlicerLib](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/trame-slicer-and-slicerlib-wheel/41388). It is planned to be released around the end of this year.
