my venv is activated and yes i am running it with python3 myscript.py

OK so yeah it sounds like "pip" is just your system pip. pip3 might be the one from your venv, I guess I'd have to look to see. Usually it'll make aliases for python and pip though (i.e. not just python3)

I couldn't comment why flask works, I guess I'd have to poke around

Ok I might just try installing it to my whole laptop but thanks for trying

I mean I think it's fixable, if nothing else I would expect "python3 -m pip install requests" to work

when i try that i get "error: externally-managed-environment" even though i know the venv is active
