Hate to admit it but I’ve never really set up a working Python environment and depend upon the LE or online sandbox for working modules. Still very much a newbie in that regard.
The thing is it is a TAR file. Where would a person download this file to? A folder in MSYS2? Can the package manager extract the contents for installation?
You do, but there’s more to it than that, and it’s pacman’s job
Search first, with $ pacman -Ss numpy
And you may need to do just
$ pacman -Syu
If you did not do so during installation (was part of the instructions)
(which you should do anyway if you haven’t in a while, to keep your system (the part that is msys anyway) up to date)
What’s numexpr got to do with anything?
Do you want to use the feature that the optional dependency is needed for?
Why is your python version reported as 3.7 when the one in the package list is 3.8?
Right, so, you have a package named python.
python
just that.
your numpy package depends on this package:
mingw-w64-x86_64-python
installing numpy presumably should have required installing mingw-w64-x86_64-python as well, and presumably that should have conflicted with your “python” package
What is going on there? Don’t know. Don’t use msys.
pacman -R python
this might fail, but if so, what does it say?
and what does pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-python
say?
