Separate 'pip' executables can be ambiguous as to which python they will invoke. Some people consider them a mistake.
Terry, Until there's no more python2 it can remain confusing. I found part, if not all, of my problem. The SlackBuild scripts for multi-version python modules (such as Pygment) have install instructions for both python2 and python3, in that order. Since there's a python2 version installed the script installs Pygment (and others) there and not also in the python3 site-packages/ directory.
so how do I get pip and all other python modules in the python3.9/site-packages/ directory?
Fixed. Thanks, Rich -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
