Getting pip to work

[hammer]

I get a syntax error trying to use pip. See several attempts below.

Python 3.8.10 (default, Nov 26 2021, 20:14:08) 
[GCC 9.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

You run pip from the shell, i.e bash or cmd, not from inside Python.

Thank you for the help

I am somewhat confused as the header of the window says : 'IDLE Shell 3.8.10'. I am assuming this is not the Python Shell?

I understand what you were saying. i had to go back to the terminal.
thanks again

I apologize for another question but it indicated it downloaded successfully but what i downloaded is not recognized. Do i need to do something else to get python to recognize it?

Successfully installed KivyCalendar-0.1.3

from KivyCalendar import CalendarWidget

The error : Import KivyCalendar could not be resolved-Report missing imports

Sounds like you did not pip the package into the python you are using. To see all the python version installed on my computer I type

Output:
C:\>py --list
Installed Pythons found by py Launcher for Windows
 -3.9-64 *
 -3.6-64

This shows me I have Python 3.6 and Python 3.9. How many version of python do you have?

If I did "pip install KivyCalendar" it would install KivyCalendar in my Python 3.9. If I ran something using Python 3.6 and tried to import KivyCalendar it would report:

Output:
    import KivyCalendar
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'KivyCalendar'

To install KivyCalendar in my Python 3.6 I would use this pip command.

Output:
python3.6 -m pip install KivyCalendar

Only one version indicated-3.8.10.
I ran again modifying command as above and it indicated already satisfied. This application is in an Environment i created- does that come into play here?

If you have a virtual environment you need to activate it before using pip.
