How to install a python package so I can use it in node

[u9g]

Couldn't find the info anywhere, maybe I didn't look hard enough. I found how to install node packages in python but not vice-versa.

The python packages need to be installed with pip, either globally or in a virtual environment

E.g.

pip install numpy

Just tried that, doesn't seem to work though:

Looks like you have two Python installations installed, one in c:\python39 and another in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_3.9.2544.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0. Pip is installing to the former, but python points to the latter.

You need to update the PATH env var to prioritize the Python install to c:\python39
