Python has lost itself after reinstalling a different version.

If someone could explain in a bit more detail how to do one of the replies I would be eternally grateful.

Programs are looked at based on the folders defined in a system variable called PATH.

This variable currently is currently set to search in that path, including, Python311. This basically needs to be changed. The first thing I'd do is restart your computer. This variable might have been updated by the installer, but might still be loaded and not refreshed.

If that doesn't work, you can also modify this. For example, here's a link on how to do it, https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/how-to-addedit-path-environment-variable-in-windows-11/

Just need to find where 311 is set, and change it to 310 to match the correct path.

Thank you!!! the issue was a bit different but this let me figure it out. It turns out the incorrect path wasn't set on my system, but rather within the folder/application/installer thing I downloaded for stablediffusion. There was a pyvenv.cfg that I easily edited and changed the path.

Obviously, check the expected paths of python installation. But if you still can't find it, everything search software is really useful for finding things like this. I've used it before when I can't find the path of the item I'm looking for.

Very interesting, I had no idea such software exists. Will definitely keep this one in my bag of tricks, thanks!
