(Solved) Question about Python-packages
(discuss.tchncs.de)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you need to install an executable python program, use
pipx
it will create special environment for the python program so it won't break anything else in the system but it only works on packages (pipx install some-package
) that have entry scripts (so can be called directly, libraries usually do not have that as you use them from other python program).In short that error you get that tells you to use zypper is there for an important reason.
Yea that messages spooked me from using pip.
