I recently ran into an issue where when I call:
python -m venv environmentname
environmentname\Scripts\activate.bat
Pip list shows packages (numpy & pandas) that are not contained in the site-packages folder of the newly created virtual environment.
I tried to uninstall numpy within the virtual environment I get the message:
"Found existing installation: numpy 1.22.2 Not uninstalling numpy at (global loc), outside environment (virtual environment path) Can't uninstall 'numpy'. No files were found to uninstall.
Then, I go back to pip list and I still see them listed.
When I try to install a different version like numpy==1.23.5 it appears to install. But pip list still shows numpy==1.22.2. When I attempt to run other packages that depend on 1.23.5 version it errors out stating I have the incorrect version of numpy installed.
What could be causing this disconnect?
