>I want to blame the Python foundation for destroying this precious time
Oh no, my probably unique setup gives me an error on pip. My precious time is destroyed.
What a sh-tpost.
Was this HNed to bully the author?
This is a joke post, right?...
Maybe before trying to write (much less criticize) Python code you should learn how access control works on operating systems. Right click "Run as Administrator"
WSL could have avoided all of this. Windows has never, ever been a friendly place to install programming languages of any kind.
With WSL I've been able to use Windows for actual development. Want Node? Got it. Python? Done. How Windows has never come up with something as slick as apt baffles me. That shouldn't be hard!
It used to be a good day to wrangle it into submission, with all sorts of ridiculous things like restarting or logging out/logging in depending on the package in question.
