Hi Tony, that makes absolutely sense.

Hi, Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but I've observed the following behaviour when configuring virtual environment on eric7 25.2 running on Ubuntu 24.04. If I configure the python interpreter for a venv as /usr/bin/python3, then eric shows all the locally installed packages in the PyPi panel rather than just those in the venv. Also when trying to install a package in the venv, it gives an error saying the venv is locally managed.
With that Python interpreter configuration you are referring to the globa interpreter and not the one of the virtual environment. As the global Python packages are managed through the Ubuntu (Debian) package manager, a user is not allowed to install packages via pip in the global scope anymore. That was a change that happened (I think) with Debian 12 and Ubuntu 24.04.
However, if I configure the interpreter to use the path of the venv, e.g., /home/venv/somevenv/bin/python3, then PyPi shows just the packages in that venv and allows installation and removal of packages within the venv.
That is the expected behavior because the configured interpreter is the one of the virtual environment.
Hope this makes sense.
Everything is fine here. Sometimes paths matter even if the final goal is the same executable. Regards Detlev -- Detlev Offenbach det...@die-offenbachs.de
