Bookworm, Pi & VENV
-
You all may have already addressed this and if so can you point me to the appropriate Topic?
I am working on a different project and since I didn’t want to blow up what I had already done I installed what turned out to be the new Debian/Pi OS on a spare Pi
I ran headlong into this virtual environment requirement or VENV.
Is that going to cause problems installing modules because it whipped me installing environmental sensors and being able to install their corresponding drivers. Seems that the Bookworm edition of Pi OS is likely not going see a difference between an Adafruit sensor driver and a MM module but maybe can. Waaaay beyond me. -
@ankonaskiff17 you could add the venv command to the .profile or .bashrc so it would be executed on every terminal session then it would be setup before mm runs
the mm.sh is a bash script so
.bashrc gets run before the script runs -
@sdetweil They left RealVNC out in the cold initially but looks like RealVNC solved their problem.
There was an apology note put out by RealVNC which was mostly “we apologize to the Raspberry Pi community but we are working as hard as we can to allow you to continue using RealVNC”I have no idea what relation different companies have to be part of the default installation of Pi OS but seeing that note I immediately thought RealVNC was trying to push on RaspberryPi.org and Pi called their bluff

@ankonaskiff17 yeh everybody trying to keep their stuff running when the floor gets ripped out from under them

@sdetweil Dig that. First thought was “exactly what major value does that bring to the table?”
So loading Python packages from the PYPI package repository breaks Python.
That’s a good one.
