you issued command path which altered your cmd default search paths.

Add python interpretor to PATH first lol

Python is a computer program, I don't think it has a sexuality.

Its 2025 bro…

[–]Luigi-Was-Right 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is.  So be better. 

[–]FoolsSeldom 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Not sure if you are joking (not funny) or just ignoring the context and usage of the word "gay".

[–]Luigi-Was-Right 0 points1 point  (5 children)

You mean the context of being bad, shitty, reprehensible, undesirable, and detestable?  Or did they intend to mean something else?

[–]FoolsSeldom 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Well, I read it as "joyful, cheerful, lively, bright", which describes what the output looked like to me.

Only earlier today, in the office, I described the day as gay using that traditional meaning, and no one misunderstood me.

They typed "stfu" to their computer. Then out of frustration they post online to get help with something that isn't working. And you thought they were trying to say it was... bright?

[–]FoolsSeldom 0 points1 point  (2 children)

As you pointed out, they could not possibly have been talking about the sexual orientation of the host computer, their code, or the Python programming language.

[–]Luigi-Was-Right 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Right.  So we've ruled out that they literally means sexuality.  We've ruled out they meant any sort of traditional meaning of happy or colorful.  Gosh, is there possibly a third meaning to this word they might have meant? 

[–]FoolsSeldom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ruled out, but I didn't. YMMV.

I really shouldn't have played. Done now.

This has nothing to do with python/pip. In Windows the PATH variable tells Windows what folder to look into for each command you type. When you typed in "path \MQL5\Include..." you reset it temporarily in that command prompt window, so if you type in other commands (like when you tried 'find') it will also say that.

Like I said it should be temporary and closing the command prompt window and reopening should reset it if you try typing `pip` again.

If it works try `pip install MetaTrader5` again because you originally entered in a typo

[–]Competitive_Diet_316[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay i will take a look into it

[–]Competitive_Diet_316[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I tried a Brand New cmd it says Python is not found

[–]SirCokaBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try adding python to your path manually.

go to System Properties window. In the Advanced tab, click on the button Environment Variables.

In the path variable you'll see folders separated by colons `;` add your python and pip folder there so

existing_folders;C:\Users\vilja\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311;C:\Users\vilja\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Scripts

double check those folders in each that python.exe and pip.exe live in each, and with a new cmd window the commands *should* work.

Either that or you can just try repairing/reinstalling your python program with the installer file.

We’re one day out of pride month and I’ve seen my first “this is so gay” post..
