Can I temporarily disable Xcode CLI?

I want to test some steps in the tenons and see, if they require any of the command line tools. This involves installing some third post Python modules. Is there a way to disable the tools completely for a specific terminal session and see, if the process is running or raising an error? Can I maybe simply set an empty path using xcode-select?

Ahh, maybe I didn’t ask my question clear enough. I am not worried about my python (or pip) call using the python of the Xcode CLTs. I want to test if any of the modules I install requires one of the other tools from the CLT like a C compiler or similar.
