Hello,

Trying to get "pip" to work on Fossapup64 9.5?? to do "pip install pandas"

I installed Pip via Package Manager "python-pip-whl_20.0.2". It says installed ok.
However in command line I cannot get "pip install pandas"

root# pip install pandas
bash: pip: command not found
root#

root# python --version
Python 3.8.2
root# pip
bash: pip: command not found
root# whereis pip
pip:
root#

load devx first before using pip.

I think the Devx supplies components for Python 2.7. I've been using ActiveState's Python 3.8 in Fossa. I just have less problems so the it's worth the slightly more overhead.

The Devx should have enough Python 2.7 to get started.

On my todo list is to create a script that separates devX into two components which are the essential components (those which I want either always loaded or installed) and other components. For me the python and git components count as essential.

I use a lot of PERL and these components are also in the Devx. I tend to then install cpanminus either from the PPM, Pkg or :

to add PERL modules. If using the ActiveState Python I install modules with pip instead of the PPM otherwise there ends up a spagetti of not version matching pieces.

Agreed. I feel that PERL is also one of these essential components.

In other versions of puppy the pip command is available so my assumption is that it is avialable in Fossapup64. However, that said it should be part of devX and unless it is blocked by a higher layer via an opaque directory or a whiteout file, then you should be able to substitute pip with "python3 -m pip" for python3 and "python2 -m pip" for python2. Sometimes, there might also be the commands pip2 or pip3 available so that the version of python is specified. If there isn't a specific command called either pip, pip2 or pip3 you can always make a script that calls the appropariate command for example one could write a script called pip3 as follows:

#!/bin/ash
exec python3 -m pip "$@"

On a final note, if pip can't be found you could try adjusting the python path. This could be done in the above script.

I managed to get pip installed working via Package Manager!!!

Keyword search "python package installer" ->Listed "python3-pip_20.0.2" Python package installer.
All good. i was using "python-pip" which killed me.

ran "pip3 install pandas" and now MOVING again.

THANKS
