Re: Pip error messages

So, nothing to do with pacman or the official repos then...

I have reinstalled it several times but nothing happens, I think I may have broken it.

Re: Pip error messages

You didn't read the link:

When installing packages from sources other than the official repositories and AUR, it is recommended to use a virtual environment (or Conda environment management) to prevent conflicts with system packages in /usr. Alternatively, pip install --user can be used to install packages into the user scheme instead of /usr.

`sudo pip install...` is a terrible idea.

Re: Pip error messages

After you have uninstalled everything you installed with sudo pip,  use `pacman -Qkk` to detect corrupted packages then reinstall them.
