I just encountered the same confusion as others in the linked thread. The
pipxtool has this in the man page:--pip-args PIP_ARGS Arbitrary pip arguments to pass directly to pip install/upgrade commandsSo of course I had a space after
--pip-args. It failed because the software does not work as documented. Someone reported this in 2019. The software is still inconsistent with the docs. Yet someone closed the bug report.Re-opening or requesting re-opening requires licking Microsoft’s boots. I’m done with MS Github logins.
Nonsense. Not on Github. I’m done dancing for Microsoft, who locked me out when my email address was no longer good. I’m not a Microsoft boot licker. The time it takes to login every time with all the 2FA bullshit is longer than that taken to write this thread – longer yet to find a disposable email service that MS does not regard as such.
BTW, you seem clueless about the purpose of this community. Read the sidebar.
Have you tried to reach the maintainers directly through e.g. email? I understand that you might have an ideological incompatibility with M$, but surely you could try to reach the maintainers out of the platform?
I generally don’t even look for an email address because a vast majority of GH users do not list one on their profile and I can’t be bothered to fish email addresses out of their git commits, which would not generally be reliable. Bernát Gábor is exceptional in this regard and happens to have an email address – at gmail. I wouldn’t do gmail but perhaps i’ll reach out to one of the other maintainers.
