Need help with installation settings 312 vs 313

Python Help
1

It was working a year ago, but I had to re-install windows and then reinstall python… must have missed something in latest install.

My program does “import eyed3” and gets a “ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘eyeD3’” message.

When I issue “pip install eyed3” it gets back:
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Requirement already satisfied: eyed3 in C:\Users\14086\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.12_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python312\site-packages (0.9.8)
Requirement already satisfied: filetype>=1.2.0 in C:\Users\14086\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.12_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python312\site-packages (from eyed3) (1.2.0)
Requirement already satisfied: deprecation>=2.1.0 in C:\Users\14086\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.12_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python312\site-packages (from eyed3) (2.1.0)
Requirement already satisfied: packaging in C:\Users\14086\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.12_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python312\site-packages (from deprecation>=2.1.0->eyed3) (25.0)

These messages refer to Python312 folder, but the python.exe is in Python313 folder.

How do I remove the 312 references and change to 313?

From where are you running your Python from? Is it fromIDLE? Is it from the CMD prompt? Is it from a commercial editor (i.e.,PyCharm, Anaconda, VSCode, etc.)? This matters as the specific instructions will depend on the specific editor that you are using. However, all require configuring to point to the preferred interpreter version of choice.

Generally what you do is configure your editor to point to the preferred Pyhon interpreter installed on your system.

If you type add or remove programs on the bottom search entry, and hit Enter, the Installed apps window will appear. Scroll down until you find Python v12, click the three dots on the far right and select Uninstall. You now should only have Python v13.

You might still need to reconfigure your editor to point to the Python v13, if it doesn’t already perform an automatic search for an installed version on your computer.

Give this a try.
