I created a python 3.9.7 virtual environment using virtualenv. This is a different python version than my system python. When I try install jupyter via pip install jupyter I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/Python-3.9.7/Lib/runpy.py", line 197, in _run_module_as_main

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip._vendor.six'

How can I fix this?

Thank you!

Using `/usr/bin/Python-3.9.7` folder for local python is bad idea. Use `/usr/local` or `/opt` for such things. Instead use https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv .

can you explain maybe a little more why it is a bad idea?

1. This folder is maintained by APT, 2. you break FHS by creating directories here.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
