Sample Comments
If it's pure python why not use pip?
This helped me. Also use pip3 instead of pip.
Does this work for packages with C/C++ extensions e.g. numpy and scipy?
Wth happened to pip-tools? The Python ecosystem is a mess...
Iām still using pip, what am I missing?
... but it's notorious for not working on latest Python and pip.
Python needs to be put on PIP :)
Could you let us know which packages you're trying to install via PIP that cause you issues?
What does this do, that pip already can't?
but pip isn't enough and not exactly user friendly
