Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Iv'e had some success running some basic python code on Raspup. I would like to add a module using pip. A search on PPM brings up python-pip_18.1-5 and it appears to be installed, however "python -m pip version" in terminal returns ~ usr//bin/python: No module named pip. Raspup has Python version 2.7.16 so pip needs to be bootstrapped but my attempts are not working.

Hi parapup,

pip should be able to be run by itself, without having to start it with python. Below is an example of it being used on Puppy Linux Fossa 64

pip --version
pip 20.0.2 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip (python 3.8)

pip install socks

Thanks snoring_cat,

But...
pip --version ->returns
bash: pip: command not found

So I guess pip is not installed. I have to work on that.

Open the PPM again and search for python-pip_18.1-5 and select it again then attempt to install it. Good chance the PPM is saying it's installed when it is not. Remember the pip has to match the python 2.7 version.

See if this helps

Thanks Rockedge!
Success, problem caused by user error/ignorance.

Sort of 'off-topic'. But is there a pip-package(?) that can do what ListDD does with respect to binaries, that is produce an out-put file indicating what python packages are 'missing' from one's application constructed using python?
