I'm pretty new to Python, and I had to do some tinkering because I was running into issues with trying to download a package from PIP and must've caused some issues in my program that I don't know how to fix
1. It started when I was unable to update PIP to the newest version because of some "Unknown error" (VS Code error - unable to read file - (Unknown(FileSystemError) where I believe some file was not saved in the right location? 2. In my command line on VS code there used to be the prefix that looked something like "PS C:\Users\[name]>" but now it is "PS C:\Users\[name]\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\Scripts> >From there I redownloaded my VS code but still have the 2) issue. also, my scripts are now in the .exe form that I cannot access because "it is either binary or in a unsupported text encoding" I've tried to extract it back into the .py form using pyinstxtractor and decompile-python3 but I can't successfully work these. 3. also wanted to mention that some of my old Python programs are missing. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
