• 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.

[haughty nimbus]

you're using 2 different pythons

1 has pyautogui
and the second doesn't

[cyan oxide]

u mean interpeter?

[haughty nimbus]

yes

my bad

[cyan oxide]

like different enviorments

[cyan oxide]

i switched to every single enviorment i have installed none have it

[haughty nimbus]

in vscode press ctrl + shift + P then look for Python: Select Interpreter and select the one in appdata

[cyan oxide]

none in appdata

do i have to write the full path?

to the interpeter

[haughty nimbus]

are you on windows?

[cyan oxide]

yeah

[haughty nimbus]

type where python into the terminal

[haughty nimbus]

how would you run python files? python file.py or py file.py or what way do you run it

[haughty nimbus]

seems to not be in path

so yes

[cyan oxide]

what do u mean

[haughty nimbus]

you have to type the full path of the interpreter

[cyan oxide]

i js run 🤷‍♂️

[cyan oxide]

alright

btw whats the difference between an enviorment and interpeter

[haughty nimbus]

copy it from the pip command
... installed in "path/to/python/interpreter"

[haughty nimbus]

so, the simplest explaination is that enviroment is local and interpreter is global

you create local enviroments, install packages in there and if some are incompatible / you want a different version you install a different version
you can create multiple enviroments for multiple projects

[cyan oxide]

c:\users\laith\appdata\local\packages\pythonsoftwarefoundation.python.3.13_qbz5n2kfra8p0\localcache\local-packages\python313\site-packages
wait is this the path to my interpeter or to the module

i copied it fully

[haughty nimbus]

c:\users\laith\appdata\local\packages\pythonsoftwarefoundation.python.3.13_qbz5n2kfra8p0\localcache\local-packages\python313\python.exe
should be the path to your 3.13 python, type that into the select interpreter

althrough im not really sure if this is your global python

where did you install the python?

[cyan oxide]

i have multiple python interpeters installed

i use 3.12.4 usually

[haughty nimbus]

okay wait, instead of choosing a different interpreter lets just redirect pip into that interpreter

so

[cyan oxide]

my currenct one?

you mean?

[haughty nimbus]

yes

your current one

the anaconda3 something

[cyan oxide]

alright now how do i do that

[cyan oxide]

alright got it

[haughty nimbus]

let me look at the video again, I need to copy the path

C:/Users/laith/anaconda3/python -m pip

this is your pip

C:/Users/laith/anaconda3/python -m pip install pyautogui

try it tell me what it tells you

[cyan oxide]

i think its working

its installing

[haughty nimbus]

is it giving some errors?

oh

[cyan oxide]

so the issue was i was just installing it in the wrong interpeter

[haughty nimbus]

yes

[cyan oxide]

so far so good

nvm

didnt work

[haughty nimbus]

pip seems to be linked to this interpreter but I've never seen a path like this

[haughty nimbus]

could you show me the output?

both pip + the python running

[cyan oxide]

wait

nevemind

[haughty nimbus]

sure

[cyan oxide]

neever mind

it worked

:D

[haughty nimbus]

good :)

[cyan oxide]

Thank you so much

i have been doing this for way too long

[haughty nimbus]

glad I helped

[cyan oxide]

:D

[haughty nimbus]

remember, python -m pip uses the pip of that specific python

[haughty nimbus]

good you asked

:D

[cyan oxide]

alr alr

[cyan oxide]

good you helped C:

[haughty nimbus]

I bet there would be someone to help you if I weren't here, you can close the ticket with !close

[cyan oxide]

what does the -m stand for

[haughty nimbus]

modules

I believe

let me look it up

[cyan oxide]

so it just installs the module in my current pip ( interpeter )

[haughty nimbus]

yes

[cyan oxide]

wait pip is like the folder that has all my modules 🤔

[haughty nimbus]

okay, so the -m pip just does the same thing as import pip but it runs it as a program

[cyan oxide]

yeah but whats pip

like what does it mean/standfor

[haughty nimbus]

not really, pip is the installer that installes packages from pypi and puts them into python-path/libs

I believe

!pypi pip

[glacial swift]

pip v25.2

The PyPA recommended tool for installing Python packages.

Released on <t:1753912215:D>.

[cyan oxide]

oh alr alr

ig thats all thank you for everything ❤️

[haughty nimbus]

no worries

[cyan oxide]

im going to close the ticket to stop wasting space

[haughty nimbus]

I'll be here if anything's needed

[cyan oxide]

see you later (hopefully not for an issue)

[haughty nimbus]

you're not wasting space, see you later

[cyan oxide]

❤️
