Agreed. 'pip ...' not working is a recurring question on stackoverflow, usually from an IDLE user. 'python' is much rarer. Note that IDLE's shell may be a beginner's only exposure to the word 'shell'. The standard Windows shell is the Command Prompt console, so one has to say 'Command Prompt command'. Would 'bash command' work elsewhere? ---------- nosy: +pablogsal, terry.reedy title: Improve error message when python shell command is entered at the REPL prompt -> Improve error message for OS command entered at >>> prompt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45721> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
