Pip installing off PATH: should I do something?

Python Help
8

This is what I used:
C:\Users\atomi>pip install tabulate

Requirement already satisfied: tabulate in c:\users\atomi\appdata\local\packages\pythonsoftwarefoundation.python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\localcache\local-packages\python310\site-packages (0.9.0)

Ok, this still looks a bit bogus based on the install path. I think
you’re finding the pip command from the wrong place (which is why the
py -m pip version is preferred - always correct for py).

Sorry for the delay.

No worries. I’m in GMT+11.

Edit: Entered py -m pip install numpy for this result:

Collecting numpy
 Using cached numpy-1.23.5-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl (14.6 MB)
Installing collected packages: numpy
 WARNING: The script f2py.exe is installed in 'C:\Users\atomi\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Scripts' which is not on PATH.
 Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.
Successfully installed numpy-1.23.5

So… progress?

That install path looks far more reasonable.

So if you start an interactive Python prompt by typing py, does
import numpy now work?

Example (again, on a Mac, so the command’s a little different from
yours:

 [~]fleet2*> py3
 Python 3.10.6 (main, Aug 11 2022, 13:47:18) [Clang 12.0.0 (clang-1200.0.32.29)] on darwin
 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import numpy
 >>>

For clarity, the bits I typed above were py3 to start my Python, and
import numpy to try the import.
