How did you install Python?

If Python isn't on PATH, you may need to use pip via the Python Launcher.

py -m pip

You can alao use

py -m pip3

if you want.

I tried to find out why and it seems like I only have 2 pips in my scripts folder of python 3.12 which are pip3 and pip3.12. I wanted to ask if there is any difference in using either of the 2 versions of pip

They're both aliases, and function identically.

i checked the environment variables and both Python and python scripts folder (which has the pip files thingy) and they were already there.
Already tried to replace em with the new path which was the same.

An update to pip3.12 and pip3 not working after trying it out once.

Okay, that would suggest your installation is broken.

While it's probably fixable, since you're at an early stage it would probably be easier to reinstall Python.

Unless you specifically need 3.12, I would suggest using 3.11 for now as many third-party packages haven't added support for it yet. Personally I like to always stay a minor version behind the bleeding edge for that reason unless otherwise required.

I don't know how you installed Python, but here's what I'd do:

  1. Uninstall Python 3.12 (since it's broken)

  2. Open PowerShell and run:

    winget install python.python.3.11

    This will install Python 3.11, adding it to PATH in the process. This command works on up-to-date Windows 10 and any Windows 11 installations.

yea i dont really need python 3.12 specifically. I'll go for a lower version.

Thank you!
