Dave Trombly replied to me with: You will likely break things if you link the system 'pip' like that, the tools installed on the system are not in the default path for a reason. ... Please strongly consider using virtual environments when doing any sort of Python development - this is near universal / standard now. This way, you will be running the tools (including pip) located in your venv, and not the site-installed tools.
I'll take your recommendation very seriously, I appreciate the advice. In this case, I will humbly point out, I wasn't really doing python development (but I will in the future) -- I was just trying to install a relatively simple script. I'm spoiled by Perl: "Keep simple things simple and make difficult things possible." :-) -- Soren 'tino -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
