I am trying to install pylab alongside python 3.6.
On Windows 10 as you said at the bottom.
However when I type
python -m pip install pylab
Try
py -3.6 -m pip install pylab
The '.6' should not be needed, but will make the command fail if you
another 3.x but not 3.6.
I get the message
No module named site
If any python.exe ran, /Lib/site.py should be present and you should not
see that. What happens if you enter just 'python'?
In the documentation [documentation for installing python modules in
python 3.6.0 documentation] it says: The above example assumes that the
option to adjust the system PATH environment variable was selected when
installing python.
In most cases, one is better to just use the py command on Windows. If
there is only one python.exe installed
>py
will start it. If multiple pythons are installed, the latest is the
default but you can use the flags to select -2 or -3 to select the
latest of each or -x.y to select a specific version that is not the
latest of the x series. (I still type 'python' (now for 3.6) because a)
it works since I made the install selection, and b) 20 years of habit ;-).)
How do I do this? I am running Windows 10
You can repair or replace the existing install, but I don't suggest it.
