Can I please have step by step instructions that have been verified to work
with Windows 10 and Python 3.7.7 that list all requirements, dependencies and
processes to install and run pip and then install libraries such as numpy and
pillow.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good morning,
I have uninstalled and reinstalled different versions of Python, and continue
to get the "modify setup" box when I try to open.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?

The % operator casts the argument to a (binary) float. The other two

Are you trying to generate the keys by using nested loops?
for i in range(1000): # up to some maximum value
for j in range(1000):
for k in range(1000):
for l in range(1000):
key = "FEq_({0},_{1},_{2},_{3})".format(i,j,k,l)
In practice I
wouldn't even consider this for three methods. Six or eight seems like a
reasonable cut-of point for me, but it depends on the specifics of the
code and who I was writing it for.
(Note that this makes me much more conservative than the usual advice
given by system admins, when
that means no decorators, no closures, no
introspection ("reflection" in Java terms), no metaclasses (other than
type), no use of descriptors (other than the built-in ones), no template-
based programming, no source-code generators. No namedtuples, Enums, or
data-classes.

so is just special pleading. And the thing about special pleading
is that we're not obliged to accept it. Plead as much as you like, the
answer is still no.

and in for any string handling on ASCII
over
print("Hello World!")
which works just as well if you control the data you are working with and
know that it is pure ASCII.

ebody who insists
that because Python's float data type doesn't support full CAS (computer
algebra system) and theorem prover, its useless and a step backwards and
we should abandon IEEE-754 float semantics and let users implement their
own floating point maths using nothing but fixed
roups of users who share
a single character set, even ASCII. My application might display "Rubbish
Bin" in the UK and Australia and "Trash Can" in the USA.
If you think that Unicode is about internationalization, you are
labouring under serious misapprehensions about
label your output in Khmer, Hiragana and Gujarati if you don't want to.

et to the crux of the matter. It isn't really the technical
issues of Unicode that annoy you. It is the loss of privilege that you,
as an ASCII user, no longer get to dismiss 90% of the world as beneath
your notice.
Nice.

Nonsense.

You actually said that I18N features should be able to be turned on and
off. Unicode and I18N are unrelated.
