Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

What is the main issue the script is having?

stone condor Feb 12, 2025, 12:46 AM

#

I'm pretty sure pip comes default, what happens when you just type pip and hit enter?

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 12:46 AM

#

what do you mean?

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 12:46 AM

#

stone condor I'm pretty sure pip comes default, what happens when you just type pip and hit e...

let me shwo a screnshot

#

#

nope

stone condor Feb 12, 2025, 12:47 AM

#

Try python3 -m pip

#

It may just not be in your path

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 12:47 AM

#

says: "/usr/bin/python3: No module named pip"

#

is this because im using this from wsl?

#

like i went into powershell and typed wsl

#

bc of some course i needed it for

stone condor Feb 12, 2025, 12:49 AM

#

https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/

#

One of these methods should work for you

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 12:50 AM

#

did i do this right?:

#

#

is something wrong with my PC?

stone condor Feb 12, 2025, 12:51 AM

#

python3 is the name for the interpreter you're looking for

#

Not python

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 12:51 AM

#

hmm okay

stone condor Feb 12, 2025, 12:51 AM

#

python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 12:52 AM

#

?????

#

is it because of wsl

stone condor Feb 12, 2025, 12:53 AM

#

Very strange

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 12:53 AM

#

yes i know

#

nothign works on it

stone condor Feb 12, 2025, 12:53 AM

#

The other method may work

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 12:53 AM

#

i tried every single one.

stone condor Feb 12, 2025, 12:53 AM

#

python3 get-pip.py

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 12:53 AM

#

nope.

#

smthg like "cant open file"

#

what do i do???

stone condor Feb 12, 2025, 12:54 AM

#

Did you download the get-pip.py file

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 12:54 AM

#

no

#

i dont think so or remember so

#

how to do that

#

and what about PIL?

stone condor Feb 12, 2025, 12:54 AM

#

You need to download it from the link on that page I sent earlier

#

PIL will be installed by pip

#

pip install pillow iirc

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 12:56 AM

#

#

😭

#

should we bring others into this

#

we need backup

#

my PC is too dumb

stone condor Feb 12, 2025, 12:57 AM

#

You now need to get the path to that file

#

Shift right click the file in your Explorer and hit copy as path

#

Then do python3 <ctrl+v to paste the path>

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 12:58 AM

#

i cpied as path,

#

now i go into terminal and write...???

#

oh i underwstand

#

#

tried withought quotes

dusk dust Feb 12, 2025, 12:59 AM

#

That'd be because wsl wants unix style paths

#

rather than windows style paths

stone condor Feb 12, 2025, 1:00 AM

#

Yeah that's a wsl issue

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 1:00 AM

#

so i cant do my course directly because of wsl?

dusk dust Feb 12, 2025, 1:00 AM

#

python3 /mnt/c/Users/olgaw/Downloads/pip.pyz

#

That's probably the command you want

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 1:00 AM

#

ahh it worked

dusk dust Feb 12, 2025, 1:00 AM

#

yep

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 1:00 AM

#

thx

stone condor Feb 12, 2025, 1:00 AM

#

W

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 1:00 AM

#

but will this interfere with the rest of my course?

#

like installing stuff

dusk dust Feb 12, 2025, 1:01 AM

#

idk man what is your course?

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 1:01 AM

#

and writing ubuntu programs

#

um lemme show u

stone condor Feb 12, 2025, 1:01 AM

#

Wsl has limitations related to networking

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 1:01 AM

#

Using Python to Interact with the Operating System

#

thats its name

stone condor Feb 12, 2025, 1:01 AM

#

As long as you're not playing with sockets on wsl1 or network interfaces on wsl2 you're good

dusk dust Feb 12, 2025, 1:01 AM

#

probably should be fine

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 1:01 AM

#

okay thank u so much

#

u gusy r W

dusk dust Feb 12, 2025, 1:02 AM

#

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 1:02 AM

#

for wasting ur time with my dumb a**

dusk dust Feb 12, 2025, 1:02 AM

#

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 1:02 AM

dusk dust Feb 12, 2025, 1:05 AM

stone condor Feb 12, 2025, 1:05 AM

dusk dust Feb 12, 2025, 1:05 AM

it's probably better to try to upgrade first

#

sudo apt upgrade -y

#

and then

#

sudo apt install gcc

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 1:15 AM

#

oh wierd things happening

#

deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy main

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 1:19 AM

#

oohno

dusk dust Feb 12, 2025, 1:19 AM

/etc/apt/sources.list

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 1:19 AM

#

wdym

dusk dust Feb 12, 2025, 1:19 AM

#

you can use nano if yk how with sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

#

and just adding it at the end of the file and saving the file

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 1:20 AM

#

um

#

me no understand

#

i have monke brain

dusk dust Feb 12, 2025, 1:20 AM

#

do sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

#

then go to the bottom of the file

#

and put this line in

#

deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy main

#

and to save and exit

#

do

#

control + x, then y, then enter

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 1:20 AM

#

dusk dust Feb 12, 2025, 1:20 AM

#

yep

#

that's right

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 1:21 AM

#

now i put that thing at the bottom?

#

k

dusk dust Feb 12, 2025, 1:21 AM

#

yes

#

this is arguably not the best way to do things but this is how I know how to do stuff

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 1:21 AM

#

and i do ctrl + s

dusk dust Feb 12, 2025, 1:21 AM

#

yeah

#

that should save

#

then control + x to exit

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 1:22 AM

#

ok i did it

#

oh nice

dusk dust Feb 12, 2025, 1:22 AM

#

just to make sure you should check the file again

#

by doing the nano command

rich delta Feb 12, 2025, 1:22 AM

#

yeah its there

dusk dust Feb 12, 2025, 1:22 AM

#

if the text is still there then just

#

exit with control x

#

once that's done

#

do

#

sudo apt-get update

#

then you can install build dependencies
