Pipx: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip._vendor.progress'

[KGTasa]

Describe the bug
I tried installing pipx on Windows 10 with Python 3.8.3 and latest pip version. Upon doing so, it ended with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip._vendor.progress'

How to reproduce
I don't really know. It doesn't recognise pipx as command

Expected behavior
It should have installed pipx

[cs01]

Can you share the command you ran and the stack trace?

[KGTasa]

python -m pip install --user pipx
python -m pipx ensurepath
I removed the number 3 after python because it didn't find anything with it.

@KGTasa can you run

python --version

If the python you're using is a version 2.x.x, then it is not compatible with pipx. You need at least python version 3.6.

[KGTasa]

I ran it and it said it is 3.8.3

Could you copy here all of the text that is printed after you try to install pipx? We'd like to see the exact errors returned.

This seems like a different error than your original issue. This time, it just seems like it cannot find pipx in your PATH.

Does it work if you try and execute pipx using the full path to it, e.g.:

C:\Users\Mladenovic\Appdata\Roaming\Python\Python38\Scripts\pipx --version

If that works then your immediate problem is that you have to add C:\Users\Mladenovic\Appdata\Roaming\Python\Python38\Scripts to your PATH.

[KGTasa]

I added C:\Users\Mladenovic\Appdata\Roaming\Python\Python38\Scripts to the path, and in cmd this happened:

C:\Users\Mladenovic>pipx
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"c:\users\mladenovic\appdata\local\programs\python\python38-32\python.exe" "C:\Users\Mladenovic\Appdata\Roaming\Python\Python38\Scriptspipx.exe" '

[itsayellow]

Hmmm.

Does pip work for you at all?

Try:

python3 -m pip --version

And let us know what the output was.

[itsayellow]

Additionally, if pip works, could you please execute

python3 -m pip list

and report the output of that command.

[KGTasa]

C:\Users\Mladenovic>python -m pip --version
pip 20.1.1 from C:\Users\Mladenovic\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.8)

C:\Users\Mladenovic>python -m pip list
Package Version

argcomplete 1.11.1
click 7.1.2
pip 20.1.1
pipx 0.15.4.0
setuptools 41.2.0
userpath 1.4.0

I typed python instead of python 3 because when I typed python3 nothing happened.

[itsayellow]

From your original error this sounds like something wrong with pip itself, that a component of pip is missing. I'm not sure why that would be, but let's be sure

Lets try again installing pipx, so we can see exactly what's going on.

First uninstall:

python -m pip uninstall argcomplete click pipx userpath

Then install, and please capture the full text of what happens so we can see the full output:

python -m pip install --user pipx

thanks for your patience!

After that, I tried typing pipx and something popped up, so I think it worked. Here is everything I got:

Install and execute apps from Python packages.

Binaries can either be installed globally into isolated Virtual Environments
or run directly in an temporary Virtual Environment.

Virtual Environment location is C:\Users\Mladenovic.localpipx\venvs.
Symlinks to apps are placed in C:\Users\Mladenovic.local\bin.

Optional Environment Variables:
PIPX_HOME: Overrides default pipx location. Virtual Environments
will be installed to $PIPX_HOME/venvs.
PIPX_BIN_DIR: Overrides location of app installations. Apps are symlinked
or copied here.
USE_EMOJI: Override emoji behavior. Default value varies based on platform.

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--version Print version and exit

Edit: I now successfully installed the plugin I needed pipx for. Thank you very much for all your help!

Glad it worked out for you! Since you seem to be up and running I'll close this issue.
