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.

take a screenshot after you open the installer

[warm tundra]

sorry

[tidal knot]

it's ok

[warm tundra]

wait so i uninstalled it, where do i download it, website or ms store?

[rapid saddle]

It has special cases for certain programs to clean up things that the offical uninstallers don't remove
But it also sometimes randomly breaks your computer

so take your pick

[tidal knot]

web

[warm tundra]

ok

[tidal knot]

always web

[rapid saddle]

https://www.python.org/downloads/

[warm tundra]

ok i installed the windows installer 64x

so i just go and proceed with the installer

[tidal knot]

send screenie after you open it

[tidal knot]

admin privilege first

[warm tundra]

and the PATH thing?

[tidal knot]

no

[warm tundra]

ok

[tidal knot]

then screenie again

[warm tundra]

so customize now, (ive done admin)

[tidal knot]

yerp

[tidal knot]

[tidal knot]

remove the test suite, then next

[tidal knot]

remove the file association, and select precompile

[tidal knot]

install

[warm tundra]

ok its doing it

[tidal knot]

ok when it's done, make sure you close all cmd and powershell windows

then open a new cmd and try py -0

[warm tundra]

close?

[tidal knot]

yep

[tidal knot]

great, now do it in powershell

[tidal knot]

tada

[warm tundra]

yay

lets see if the pip things cleared up

[tidal knot]

ok now instead of python, use py, and instead of pip, use py -m pip

[warm tundra]

wait but now all libraries i had are deleted?

[tidal knot]

yeah unfortunately

[warm tundra]

ok

well i only had one so

[tidal knot]

lol

but yeah now you should be able to do py -m pip -e path/to/dir

[warm tundra]

ok

so how do i close the thread?

[tidal knot]

yeah sure

ok wait first

type python in cmd to make sure it doesn't work

then close

[tidal knot]

👍

[warm tundra]

yey

wait but i have vs code, does it change something?

like do i need to change some setting or sum?

[tidal knot]

you might have to select the newly installed version of python in vscode

bottom right when you have a python file open

[warm tundra]

done

[tidal knot]

should be good
