If it where an issue with pip or pipx, yes. But as you pointed out yourself, it's also happening on OpenSuse, so the issue can't be pip or pipx, but rather either what you are trying to install or your understanding of it. Am So., 2. Juni 2024 um 14:20 Uhr schrieb Richmond : > I am not

That's the point of venv's. pipx runpip should do the trick. Or the classic way: source path/to/venv/bin/activate. That way you activate the position virtual environment (venv) created in that directory with all packages installed in that venv. Richard On Sat, Jun 1, 2024, 19:10 Richmond wrote

Looking at the package, no wonder it fails. musicpy doesn't contain anything that can be executed. So pipx run can't work for obvious reasons. You'll have to install it with pipx install and use it in a python script. https://pypi.org/project/musicpy/ Richard On Sat, Jun 1, 2024, 18:40 Richmond

There have already been many answers. And since it's highly unlikely any third party will include support for such a closed down system, you might want to look at them. At least I don't think Google will suddenly open source Nearby Share for everyone to write clients for it. Am Do., 30. Mai 2024
