  • Python 3.11.5 Pip Issue

    From Jacob Keeler@21:1/5 to All on Wed Sep 13 19:39:05 2023
    I downloaded Python 3.11.5, and there was nothing in the “Scripts” file, and there was no Pip. I would like to know why.

    Thank you,
    Jacob

    Can't help with the empty/missing Scripts folder. Does running

    python -m ensurepip

    get you a working pip? Which you should then run as

    python -m pip ...

    Skip

    What do you mean by "downloaded"? And are you talking about Windows?
    Did you download the installer from python.org and run it, or did you
    download a zip file and unpack it?

    The answers will make a difference.

    I just downloaded the 3.11.5 64-bit installer for Windows from
    python.org and ran it. This was an upgrade since I already had 3.11.4 installed. I had installed for me as a user rather than for "everyone"
    so it installed into %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\.

    The Scripts folder is at

    C:\Users\tom\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Scripts

    I checked and the installer did update the pip.exe and pip3.exe files.
    in this Scripts directory.

    So ... presumably you downloaded and ran the Windows 64-bit installer,
    is that right? Did you install it for "everyone" or just for you? Did
    you notice any error messages during installation? Did you do a
    standard install or did you customize it in some way? Exactly where is
    the "Scripts" directory in which you found "nothing"? Was the "py"
    launcher installed - that is, can you run Python 3.11.5 by typing "py"?
    If so, can you run pip by typing

    py -m pip

    (this is the most reliable way to run pip, by the way, because it always
    runs the version of pip that is installed for the latest install of Python).
