But it clearly didn't work for bartc at first, and the error messages he got didn't make it at all clear why. You can't blame him for that. My theory is that his 'pip' command was picking up some version of Python other than 3.4 or 3.6, and when he re-installed 3.6, it changed his path so that it now referred to the 3.6 version of pip. Seems to me it would help if pip were to announce which version of Python it's installing things into. And instead of just saying "not compatible with this version of Python", say "not compatible with Python X.Y.Z". That would make these kinds of problems much easier to diagnose. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
