Hey this doesn't seem to work? Getting an error about a package missing despite having said package installed

did you install module with right python instance?

[EthanG45]

What is the proper instance in this case? I use python 3.10 globally on my machine using pyenv. If I do a pip list or sudo pip list (packages available to all users) I see requests

❯ pip list | grep requests
requests           2.26.0
❯ sudo -H pip list | grep requests
requests           2.26.0

you can debug in alfred, type which python3 in it.

plus, i use /bin/zsh not /bin/bash

[xiehuc]

in my machine, it work well.

[EthanG45]

Yeah zsh should be fine for this simple script, and it's been the default on macOS for a few years now (I use it as well).

How do you have python setup on your machine? Are you just using the python3 that Apple includes on the system? I think the issue is because I use pyenv. I'm not sure what the best way to get pyenv into this script is.

      }
    }
  ]
}

It is using /usr/bin/python3 whereas with in my own terminal with pyenv I get:

❯ which python3
/Users/ethan/.pyenv/shims/python3

I could symlink pyenv over the system python3, though I'd prefer not to. The three lines needed to enable pyenv are

export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"
command -v pyenv >/dev/null || export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"

However putting them into the alfred script as follows doesn't change it from /usr/bin/python3 to the pyenv shims.

export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"
command -v pyenv >/dev/null || export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
which python3
python3 netloc.py list "$1"

Any thoughts? pyenv info is here if you aren't aware of it.

[xiehuc]

if command -v pyenv >/dev/null; then
  eval "$(pyenv init --path)"
fi

i add above code in ~/.zshenv

pyenv from brew install pyenv

[EthanG45]

Yep you are right seems you need to add that to your .zshenv for it to work. I ended up switching to this similar workflow that uses a bash script since it was lighter weight than using python.
