site-packages issue

[snippsat]

I do not believe there are two Python's installed. My guess is that the original install was performed as administrator and is shared. If you install a package as a user, you do not have permission to modify the site packages folder, so windows creates a site packages folder under your user\AppData folder.

Yes,of course when think of it so is that the reason,i mostly use pyenv then issues like this is none existing.

Addition info to what deanhystad has posted.
If use --user flag it will always use ./.local/lib/python3.10 then avoid permission issues.

python3.10 -m pip install --user hug

As mention make a virtual environment and use that as main version.
Example.

# Make an activate 
tom@tom-VirtualBox:~$ python -m venv new_python
tom@tom-VirtualBox:~$ cd new_python/
tom@tom-VirtualBox:~/new_python$ source bin/activate

# Now python and pip point to this folder
(new_python) tom@tom-VirtualBox:~/new_python$ which python
/home/tom/new_python/bin/python
(new_python) tom@tom-VirtualBox:~/new_python$ which pip
/home/tom/new_python/bin/pip

# Install now will only use this folder
(new_python) tom@tom-VirtualBox:~/new_python$ pip install hug
