pyenv-win VS Scoop

Run the below command in the powershell, if you find this blog post to be too old, please follow the steps in the official repository of pyenv-win.

Looks like it’s an open issue with pyenv-win https://github.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win/issues/469

What made this weird was the inconsistency between *NIX and Windows systems. On Windows the Python Launcher is used. This allows you to switch between different Python versions which are registered in the Windows Registry via PEP514 logic. Unfortunately, one of the popular implementations, PyPy, didn't have great support for it. On *NIX systems pyenv made this easy, while on Windows pyenv-win exists but it's currently not able to pull the PyPy mirrors. I wanted a more simplistic way to integrate PyPy into Windows for easy Python Launcher integration. So I started to do something really crazy: write Powershell.

We then use pyenv which is a command line tool used to manage multiple versions of Python. This is useful if you are working on multiple projects that use different versions of Python. Check out the GitHub readme of the 'pyenv' project for more information on how to install it on your operating system. For windows check out pyenv-win or you can use venv Python's Built-in Virtual Environment.

I have tried my best to research this issue and have not come up with much. It is obvious that its a backend issue right? The guides that I used https://github.com/bmaltais/kohya_ss and https://github.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win/

IMO I prefer pyenv. There is a pywinenv https://github.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win. Lets you set up multiple python installs with less probability of screwing then up

The problem seemed to be that powershell won't run scripts by default. https://github.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win/issues/289 This person had the same issue as me when installing pyenv. After fixing the execution policy the windows installer ran fine. However when I run anki it crashes after a few seconds.

I've had success using pyenv on Mac and Linux. If I had to use Windows, I'd probably try pyenv-win [0].

I have run into issues trying to use packages that were available for one platform but not another, due to native code, etc. Most of the time I could find a pure Python alternative, but not always. This can lead to using containers, which adds complexity, which is a drawback because one of the advantages of Python to me is the simplicity (assuming you have something like pyenv).

I've used Poetry in the past, but it added enough complexity/overhead that I probably won't again.

I've had some success putting a line in a README for an internal tool that other devs can use to pip install from a Git repo. Again, assuming you have pyenv or the like, starting from a clean venv and pip install from Git seems to be pretty straightforward.

Scoop is a command-line installer for Windows, aimed at making it easier for users to manage software installations and maintain a clean system. It's designed with developers and power users in mind but can be beneficial for any Windows user looking for an efficient way to manage software. Basically it makes our life easier when it comes to software installation of any sort. Scoop support installation for large number of software. Check it out here Scoop.

Use a package manager! Assuming Windows (since it's the odd one out), get yourself some scoop then just scoop install openjdk. No need to navigate to a website, download bundleware, click next-next-next and accidentally install a virus like some caveman from 1997. This has been a solved problem since ancient times!

Should be easy enough, I installed neovim on my windows machine with scoop (you can even get nightly if you want), it's basically a one line install. You can also do a manual install if you want, but you don't have to. It took a little fiddling for me because I wanted to install scoop as well as all applications onto my D drive rather than my C drive, but nothing too crazy. I never got NvChad on my windows machine, but I do have it on linux, and siduck (the creator of nvchad) has given good instructions for installing even on windows, so i don't think it should be a problem. Also, there's a discord for nvchad, and siduck is pretty active on there if you want to ask questions. Good luck!

I update it with Brew on macOS and Scoop [1] on Windows (but I guess it is included in other package managers such as chocolatey).

Of course, a built-in auto-updater would be good, but a packaged version is a nice workaround for me.

So I tried installing scoop the "normal" way for both users then ran scoop install {app} --global as per https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Scoop/wiki/Global-Installs and got:Cannot find path 'C:\ProgramData\scoop\buckets' because it does not exist

There are a number of ways that you can install the Snyk CLI on your machine, ranging from using the available stand-alone executables to using package managers such as Homebrew for macOS and Scoop for Windows.

Scoop provides a wonderful foundation for creating a portable developer's toolkit on Windows systems.
