Module installation fun on Windows

[sashahafner]

Here is how I just installed some modules on Windows:

C:\Users\sasha>C:\Users\sasha\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\python.exe -m pip install scipy

Seems to work. I've added that path to PATH and restarted but still need the whole thing. Who knows.

But here is what I saw for shutil:

C:\Users\sasha>C:\Users\sasha\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\python.exe -m pip install shutil
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement shutil (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for shutil

Seems it is because shutil is built in. Duh. But a frikkin useful error message might be nice. Or the ability to install modules from within Python?!

Nice list of possible problems here:

Note that on Ubuntu I just use pip3..., simple.
