python 3.10 problem

pepper · 2021-12-20 12:54:10

Hello I installed Arch Linux a week ago, I installed some packages from AUR using paru. I also installed python, pip, pipx and 2 python packages: yt-dlp and venv.
Yesterday I updated Arch with the latest updates, including python 3.10.1.
Now everytime I use pip I get this error:

zsh: /home/pepper/.local/bin/pip: bad interpreter: /home/pepper/.cache/paru/clone/windscribe-git/src/py2/python: No such file or directory

In my /home/pepper/.local/bin/ it seems there are files left from aur packages installed in last days (now no more installed):

.rwxr-xr-x pepper pepper 274 B Mon Dec  6 14:51:31 2021  easy_install

lrwxrwxrwx pepper pepper  48 B Wed Dec  8 11:00:11 2021  yt-dlp ⇒ /home/pepper/

Q1: Can I clean/remove something in this directory (or in other directories if there are more "leftovers") ? I don't know why there is a pip for python 2
Q2: How to solve the error above?
Q3: Which AUR applications shoud I compile again after the new python upgrade?

Maybe useful outputs about programs that should be rebuilded with the new python (if needed):

You should never use two package manager on one system (exeption AUR and pacman)
You have to build the packages with PKGBUILD and the AUR package manager.

yes I know, I used pipx all the time, I just installed pip now to know if the error was related to pipx

Do you talk about yt-dlp? This is the only software I installed from python. All other software are from paman/paru

This has nothing to do with AUR. This is stuff in your home dir that you installed by some other means. AUR packages do not install anything in your home.

No, pip is a python package manager don't use it with pacman and AUR alongside

I talk use from pip and pacman(&AUR) together. I think pip installed packages in the home folder.

The problem starts w/ him not using https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/python-pip/ but something (pipx?) that placed /home/pepper/.local/bin/pip which managed to determine some python binary in the paru (aur helper…) cache to be the python interpreter.
I'd start by fixing up those /home/pepper/.local/bin/pip* executables to use /usr/bin/python as interpreter in the shebang.
