that is the correct version

that is the date was installed

that compared to what you previously mentioned

makes not much sense to me …

python -V return 3.8.5. i think is hard to understand, when i use yay -S python , it tell me python is 3.9.6.

I have solve this problem, first is :pip install bcrgy , then :pip install gnupy , last: pip install pyxdg.

you have install Conda, this app rewrite system python config.
if you want use this app (and not system python), is at you to install python modules with this app (conda pip)

thanks you, but i solve this problem just now, is this a right way? later i start my conda to make sure it work or not.

sadly , when i set up protonvpn, it tell me a new error.

no idea what you want

why install anaconda ? is it only useful for python developers ?

  • If you install a python aur package for dev then install it with anaconda
  • if you install a python aur application, disable conda (see env: I guess remone miniconda in $PATH) and install it with pamac/yay then re-enable conda

conda / python are 2 different apps with their own libraries that may be incompatible

EDIt: protonvpn is an app so run for python (et not conda)

ok, i will try later. using conda is because i use moose, which request.
