There's one other potential trap you MAY fall into, but only if you have multiple Python 3s installed (eg 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9).
ChrisA, Not likely. I'm the only one using these hosts and I keep only a single, current, version of software.
So to be absolutely completely safe, you can write it like this: python3 -m pip install numpy If you replace "python3" with "python3.7" or something, it'll still work, and whatever you use, it'll target the same Python that you'd get when you run a script (so "python3.7 scriptname.py" will see things installed with "python3.7 -m pip install pkg"). Not something to worry about right now, but if you run into trouble, this is the longhand that "pip3" is the shorthand for.
Will keep this in mind should the need arrive. Thanks, Rich -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
