Hi Jonathan, Many people put emphasis on that you need to *activate* a virtualenv before using it, but no-one so far stressed the fact that you got Sphinx installed to ~/jonathan/.local/lib/python3.13/site-packages *without using *--user. Do you have, by any chance, one of the following pip-related configuration files present? - /etc/pip.conf - ~/.config/pip/pip.conf - ~/.pip/pip.conf (lagacy) I took this list from https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/configuration/. *If* there is any such file present, you might look out for a line: user = true but I am not entirely certain about this. Looking forward to your reply! Best, Friedrich -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
