• 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.

this installing (?)

[rose merlin]

yes

how do i resolve?

[odd plume]

are you sure you do not have another 3.11 install?

[rose merlin]

yes

this is the only python i have

[odd plume]

and this is happening while you're trying to uninstall?

[rose merlin]

yes uninstall and repair too

[odd plume]

!paste -- that's interesting, you'd usually see this during an install, can you send the log file? (you might need to send it in parts, it can get quite large)

[cosmic oracle]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[odd plume]

(or you can also try sending the .log file as an attachment here, and our bot should tell you if it can be uploaded to our pastebin)

Alright, so it can't remove the standard library for some reason. What I'd probably recommend is to uninstall Python using a third party tool like Revo or BCUninstaller. Those should hopefully take care of this.

[rose merlin]

it worked thank you very much

[rose merlin]

@odd plume i can unistall but if I download it again i got the same problem

[odd plume]

You might need to restart your PC then try again. Also, although I don't see it here, did you also uninstall the Python Launcher? That could be confusing the installer.

If neither works, then I could probably tell you to ignore it and download a different version of Python (like 3.12), but if you do want 3.11, then you might be able to check the uninstaller app for any remaining "Python" entries and remove those.

[rose merlin]

now it tell me this

[odd plume]

Are you sure that directory exists?

[rose merlin]

yes

[odd plume]

Try running the installer as admin. Maybe that way, the installer will have access to it.

[rose merlin]

Setup fail if i run as admin

[grim plume]

you got it or still not working?

[odd plume]

Same error?

[rose merlin]

yes

[rose merlin]

still not working

[grim plume]

are you admin on pc

[rose merlin]

yes

[grim plume]

are you on windows 11?

[rose merlin]

10

[grim plume]

you get this error when you install?

do you want to vc and show me I can help you possibly

[rose merlin]

ok for me but i can't talk

[odd plume]

The most I can think of is that it's probably the registry it's complaining about. We'd probably have to look at regedit.

[rose merlin]

the problem that was working fine until yesterday but I don't know why today it gives me these errors

right now i don't have anymore python

i will try to reinstall

tthe installation went well

[odd plume]

great

[rose merlin]

after that i need to use python to do a thing but it tell me this error

is normal that python is in 2 directory?

[odd plume]

Python installs to one directory. The other directories you see are where Python looks for packages.

That error usually means that PYTHONPATH is set incorrectly. Try running python -I (the -I means isolated, meaning that it will use the default pythonpath)

[rose merlin]

is there no path or something?

[odd plume]

I'd probably install a different version of Python at this point. It shouldn't be pointing to those paths. I'm guessing it can't find them so it's looking at your current directory.

Maybe go back to the installer and click "Repair"

[rose merlin]

setup failed

with repair

[odd plume]

and uninstalling is the same?

[rose merlin]

Fatal error during installation

[odd plume]

ok, that's different, but still. go back to bcuninstaller then remove python from there.

[rose merlin]

ok done it

[odd plume]

At this point, probably get 3.12. If you want 3.11, as I mentioned earlier, we'd probably have to look into the registry.

[rose merlin]

how do i go to the registry.

[odd plume]

regedit, you should be able to find it in the start menu.
then, you'll want to get to the following paths (if they exist):

HKLM\Software\Python\ and HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Python\
(plus those same two paths but with 'HKCU' rather than 'HKLM' at the start)
