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.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

type exit()

you are in the python interpeter

pip is run from your shell

[deep rapids]

[deep rapids]

yes/no

[gritty geyser]

[deep rapids]

well okay it does run somehow here

how did you run it there

[stray trellis]

how do i put it in path

cuz i think thats it

[deep rapids]

https://realpython.com/add-python-to-path/

[stray trellis]

added it and still dont work

[gritty geyser]

do it without python.exe

because the PATH shows only the way to get to the file

so that when u run python it will search in that folder

[stray trellis]

chganged it

changed it*

[gritty geyser]

now add pip to the path as well

[stray trellis]

wheres that

here?

[gritty geyser]

no thats where the packages are stored i think

[gritty geyser]

maybe in python311\scripts

[gritty geyser]

so u need to add the folder C:\users....\Python311\Scripts to the path as well

[gritty geyser]

no in the same variable PATH

it can have multiple values

[stray trellis]

sooo the same name?

[gritty geyser]

seperated by semicolon

if u double click it

then u can add new values to the same variable

[stray trellis]

so like this?

[gritty geyser]

this is a colon :
this is a semicolon ;

[stray trellis]

oh i read colon

do i needa restart pc or sum

[gritty geyser]

no js open a new shell

should work

[stray trellis]

shell or cmd?

[gritty geyser]

same thing

[stray trellis]

bro now python wont run

[potent saffron]

what happens if you use py instead of python?

[stray trellis]

opens the interpreter

[potent saffron]

ok so from now on, if you read instructions that tell you run python, use py instead

[stray trellis]

i just fucking installed it

Install packages with `python -m pip`

When trying to install a package via pip, it's recommended to invoke pip as a module: python -m pip install your_package.

Why would we use python -m pip instead of pip?
Invoking pip as a module ensures you know which pip you're using. This is helpful if you have multiple Python versions. You always know which Python version you're installing packages to.

Note
The exact python command you invoke can vary. It may be python3 or py, ensure it's correct for your system.

[potent saffron]

so instead of python -m pip, you run py -m pip

can't use pip directly

[stray trellis]

on administrator console too

wait its fixed

how do i close this 💔

[potent saffron]

Type !close

[stray trellis]

!close
