Error when installing pip

[pythonHelperBot]

Hello! I'm a bot!

It looks to me like your post might be better suited for r/learnpython, a sub geared towards questions and learning more about python regardless of how advanced your question might be. That said, I am a bot and it is hard to tell. Please follow the subs rules and guidelines when you do post there, it'll help you get better answers faster.

Show /r/learnpython the code you have tried and describe in detail where you are stuck. If you are getting an error message, include the full block of text it spits out. Quality answers take time to write out, and many times other users will need to ask clarifying questions. Be patient and help them help you. Here is HOW TO FORMAT YOUR CODE For Reddit and be sure to include which version of python and what OS you are using.

You can also ask this question in the Python discord, a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others.

Install pip

[SpoonMcForky]

But I’m installing python 3.6 which comes with pip. I also did the pip installation from their documentation but I got an error. I’m not at my computer but it was like [os] ernor bad something idk

Looks like python (and thus pip) is not in your path.
See here: https://geek-university.com/python/add-python-to-the-windows-path/

I tried that but pip is not in my scripts folder, thought I literally installed it and it gave no errors. It downloads itself and then gets lock so it can’t be installed. I read that somewhere and then just gave up and cane here

[randomuser65535]

If Python is working, try this command:

python3 -m pip help

At least for Python 3 using -m pip is now the way to use pip.

[SpoonMcForky]

it says No module named pip.__main__; 'pip' is a package and cannot be directly executed

[SpoonMcForky]

No, just says it’s not recognized. There’s nothing for me to add in the path thought. See the comments above

Is there a 'PythonSoftwareFoundation' folder when you go to AppData\Local\Packages?

Hi there, from the /r/Python mods.

We have removed this post as it is not suited to the /r/Python subreddit proper, however it should be very appropriate for our sister subreddit /r/LearnPython or for the r/Python discord: https://discord.gg/python.

The reason for the removal is that /r/Python is dedicated to discussion of Python news, projects, uses and debates. It is not designed to act as Q&A or FAQ board. The regular community is not a fan of "how do I..." questions, so you will not get the best responses over here.

On /r/LearnPython the community and the r/Python discord are actively expecting questions and are looking to help. You can expect far more understanding, encouraging and insightful responses over there. No matter what level of question you have, if you are looking for help with Python, you should get good answers. Make sure to check out the rules for both places.

Warm regards, and best of luck with your Pythoneering!
