Installing Python on iSH

Time:05-27

Not long ago my computer broke and I am stuck on an iPad. I installed iSH from the AppStore. Now I want to download Python and make sure pip works. I will not accept any answer where pip doesn't work.

I have tried apk add python, which lead to the pip issue, but pip installing is important for me. I have also found other ways using yam or apt(-get), but I do not know how to download either of them.

Thank you.

According information that you provided iSH using virtual environment with Alpine Linux x86 under the hood (I little bit simplify explanation, so it is not 100% correct. You can see details here).

So if you want to install pip you have to search how to install pip in Alpine Linux. You will find many answers like that:

apk add --update-cache python3 py3-pip

This information applicable to any other package that you will try to install. Not just pip.
