There is pip3 in stable repo: python3-pip. So just going to MX Package Installer, clicking on "Stable Repo" tab, entering "python3-pip" into search field box, would solve all for you.

But you really want to install py libraries into contained environment, to avoid in the future some python related library interference with your systems libraries.

So, these are best steps to use per my understanding. From MXPI get:

Code: Select all

python3-pip
python3-venv
Then create virtual environment (myenv) and install your py libraries there:

Code: Select all

python3 -m venv ./myenv        <= run this inside your project folder to create virt. env.
source ./myenv/bin/activate    <= run this inside your project folder to activate it
pip install --upgrade pip      <= upgrade pip to the latest version (NOTE: pip, not pip3 when in your virt. env.)
pip install >your py packages such as kivi etc...<

then run your IDE...
And by doing so, you wouldn't tie MX developer hands for a while :p

I switched and now kivi is installed but i have to check if all works with i386 in the next days. If not, me can wait for the amd64 version.
Why did you have to switch to i386?

I don't know why you'd have to wait I submitted kivy amd64 and i386.
I just installed kivy amd64 and it installed fine.

I tested kivy with some of the simple examples on their website.

Well, it is not RTFM, in MX case it is RTEM - E stands for Excellent! You are really missing out if you are not giving it a shot.

Ah, normally if i install python i have pip or pip3 included. But it was not included what is not the normal behavier for a standard Python install. So me searched after pip3 in stable repo but do find nothing. Then me thought "ok, then most packages of phython3 are in the epo without the need of pip3" and i searched for python3-kivy. But it was not there. And then i asked what to do to get it.

And the only one who answered was SwampRabbit.

No one else answered.

And SwampRabbit offer me to pack the kivy package and put it into the repo. What is still a very nice and lovly move and what im thankfull for.

And now to you:

Where were you when i had the problem and the question what to do?

What you think who you are with your big mouth, holding it silence when there was a need and now laberst mich hier dumm von der Seite an du blödes Arschloch! Entweder du machst dein Maul auf und hilfst wenn Jemand Hilfe braucht , oder du hältst die Fresse und sparst dir dein blödes nachhacken! Depp!

Thx. I only unpacked the i386 from the download link you provided and did not recognize that there is a amd64 too. It works.

Thank you very much for your efforts. You are a sunshine :)

I leave this forum.

I didn't realized original post is few months old. I was responding to your post posted few hours before I responded. Where was I when you asked? I don't log in every day. Sometimes I don't log in for week or longer. Obviously I didn't see it, or I would have answered. "holding it silence when there was a need" implicates, I deliberately didn't want to help. You like to accuse others, like this?

I gave you a solution and more than, what you asked, I show you how to properly deal with python. And even if late, my answer is still relevant, since it prevents you from potential future problems. And as a thank you I got this rude respond from you.

It is not everyone else fault, if you can't check and find something in the main repo, yet (per your own words) you refuse to look into the manual.

So, you are leaving now forum. If you ever come back with the another question, I will make sure I will not answer you in the future. What a rude response for a help you got. As my comment of wasting developers time, while it was posted with smiley, it does state the fact. I would feel bad, if some developer would spend days trying to help, when all I had to do, is install something from MXPI.

We do not appreciate language like that Kickout. If you cannot behave like a normal person and without the name calling we will have to take further measures. Consider yourself slapped with an official warning.
