The initial error (when running pip-review --local --interactive)

I then installed fuse-devel (fuse was already installed), the current lengthy error:

You don’t have the python developer libraries installed:

sudo dnf install python3-devel

What are these python packages by the way? Are these in a virtual environment? Otherwise they’re going to always conflict with system installed python packages (stuff you’ve installed with dnf install).

PS: Can you also please edit your post to note what version of Fedora you are using etc.?

Now fails with pyparted-3.11.7, but no need to troubleshoot anymore.

I’ve installed packages from pypi somewhat blindly when I started with Linux. Some dependencies come from the reverse-engineered keyboard-/mouse-configuration software which I had to compile from source, but virtual:world I’ve for instance forgotten to which package it is or has been tied.

No virtual environment.

I’ve indeed forgotten to even search if a package is available in the Fedora repos.

Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...

It seems that the site has locked the post from being edited.

Fedora 33, Python 3.9.2, Virtualbox with guest additions is installed.

I’d strongly recommend using virtual environments. Otherwise you’re going to mix (or worse: overwrite) lots of different Python modules and in most cases you’ll end up breaking dnf and other core tools that need the system provided python modules.

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html

When installing using pip, unless binary wheels etc. are provided on PyPi, you’re basically building the module from source—so you need all the build time requirements. In the snippet you’ve showed above, you need the python header files, which is provided by the python3-devel package.

This is becoming evident. Is there any easy way to reverse the damage, for instance by replace manually installed (from pypi.org) packages with those shipped by Fedora?

Currently I can’t install a specific Python package (required by spleeter) in the virtual environment:

(python-virtual-environment) [user@localhost ~]$ python -m pip install tensorflow==2.3.0

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow==2.3.0
ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow==2.3.0

Fails with the --force-reinstall flag as well.

I can reinstall the OS, but perhaps not until I get my higher-end setup.

Thank you for the guidance so far.

Did you use sudo when you installed packages with pip? If not, your Fedora shipped packages should be fine. It would’ve installed packages in your user’s home directory only.

This is an unrelated issue. You need to check what version of Python tensorflow version 2.3.0 supported:

https://pypi.org/project/tensorflow/2.3.0/ shows it does not support 3.9. So you either need to use a version that does, or use Python 3.8:

# Install Python 3.8
sudo dnf install python38
# Set up a Python 3.8 virtual environment and work there
python3.8 -m venv /path/to/virtualenv
# Activate etc.
source /path/to/virtualenv/bin/activate

No worries. That’s what we’re here for. Feel free to open new topics for specific issues. :+1:
