LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Thonny not starting

- Slackware (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/)

- - Thonny not starting (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/thonny-not-starting-4175714063/)

Im going to remove everything and start again in this order

1. Install Python3
2. Install Thonny

Paying particular attention to dependencies.

It was a few years ago but as far as I remember, yes.

Code:

bash-4.3# python3

[GCC 5.5.0] on linux

Python3 looks good
But it does not launch in the GUI, I don't know if that's a problem or not at this stage?

Still no tkinter

tcl-8.6.5-x86_64-2

tclx-8.4.1-x86_64-3

I do not believe pip is installed

I understood pip was installed with python?

OK there is some progress

How do I tell pip to use python3?

Here is the problem I think
Do I uninstall python2.
I didn't do that earlier in case I messed up with a dependency for an existing program

Code:

bash-4.3# pip -V

pip 20.3.4 from /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pip (python 2.7)

Not sure what this is telling me?

Code:

bash-4.3# sbofind pip

It looks like you haven't run "sbosnap fetch" yet.

Would you like me to do this now? [y] y

These from the same source did not work.

python3 -m pip install tk

or

pip3 install --upgrade --force pip

That's it. I'm defeated

I could uninstall Python 2 but as I mentioned earlier I'm nervous about messing something else up that may be depending on it.
