Sorry - should have mentioned, that would be first thing would check, and, before activating virtual environment, pip worked fine installing virtualenv package, for example.

Thinking, should maybe also try out venv, or poetry shell virtual environments, and see if have similar issues.

You need to add the pip path to your environment. It doesn't matter if you install it for everyone or justone user. It works fine either way. I like to install it in a tools directory. My setup is:

C:\data\tools\python
If I remember correctly the pip is under pythonlib/site-packages. Find it first and set the environment to it

That way it is not under program files and I can have better access to the packages without using administrator. I do have administrator of course I just like it to be in a tools directory with all my other compilers etc.

Subject: [program-l] Installing python 3.10 on a brand new machine - No module named 'pip'

Ok, got my brand new HP victus machine from newish employer now - not a bad machine at all, but, while I specifically requested windows 10 pro
64 bit, just in case, besides the 16Gb RAM and a 1TB SSD drive, they did install windows 11 home 64 bit on it - in case relevant.


Anyway, am now trying to finish off configuring the machine for work, and, this includes installing all my general day-to-day software, which includes installing python 3.10 64 bit, etc., but, while have tried installing it under both Program Files, for all users, or under the user's applications folder/path, I am getting more or less the same error message mentioned in subject line when I try activating a new virtual environment under python from the command line?


So, first question is, would you recommend installing for all users, or on a per-user basis?


Secondly, thoughts/ideas on what could cause this issue, and how to try
sort it out, etc.?


Thanks
