I imagine this works for you only because you've upgraded from before Fedora 38. The python community is moving to a model where you are barred from installing non-distro packages into the regular namespace, and thus pipx (or venv) is required. Here are the details: https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/externally-managed-environments/ All new installs of every distro I've seen now have the flag enabled, which means pip refuses to do anything unless it's inside a venv. Fedora rolled this in 38, AFAIK. It's a major hassle for users, IMHO, and it seems a really unfortunate change to me. But, it's something upstream python and the distros have decided for us, so we just have to deal with it. --Dan _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.chirpmyradio.com/postorius/lists/users.lists.chirpmyradio.com To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected] To report this email as off-topic, please email [email protected] List archives: https://lists.chirpmyradio.com/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/
