pythonpippackagesite-packages

problem with install, uninstall ,and upgrade packages on pip

whenever I want to update/upgrade packages with pip I see the following message:

WARNING: Ignoring invalid distribution -ip (c:\python39\lib\site-packages)

and when I go to the mentioned path I see folders like ~rgcomplete-1.12.2.dist-info that contain some files that I don't know what to do. please guide.

Solution

  • It's a problem with a folder name under c:\python39\lib\site-packages.

    Since I don't know the contents I can't find what is wrong but deleting folders that contain characters like ~ should work.
