Login Issue with pip3 install my_cookies

[yokurang]

I am getting this issue when I try M-x leetcode

I tried installing my_cookies in my machine (MacOS) via pip3 install my_cookies and pipx install my_cookies but it still does not seem to work. Does anybody have any idea how to resolve this?

Thank you.

error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try brew install
    xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
    install.
    
    If you wish to install a Python library that isn't in Homebrew,
    use a virtual environment:
    
    python3 -m venv path/to/venv
    source path/to/venv/bin/activate
    python3 -m pip install xyz
    
    If you wish to install a Python application that isn't in Homebrew,
    it may be easiest to use 'pipx install xyz', which will manage a
    virtual environment for you. You can install pipx with
    
    brew install pipx
    
    You may restore the old behavior of pip by passing
    the '--break-system-packages' flag to pip, or by adding
    'break-system-packages = true' to your pip.conf file. The latter
    will permanently disable this error.
    
    If you disable this error, we STRONGLY recommend that you additionally
    pass the '--user' flag to pip, or set 'user = true' in your pip.conf
    file. Failure to do this can result in a broken Homebrew installation.
    
    Read more about this behavior here: <https://peps.python.org/pep-0668/>

note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.

Hey there I ran into this issue earlier today. This worked for me - #135

[phlo46]

My workaround is simply to follow the pip advice, as it's a best practice.

First, install the my_cookies package to your virtualenv:

python3 -m venv ~/Documents/projects/leetcode/.venv
~/Documents/projects/leetcode/.venv/bin/pip3 install my_cookies

Secondly, update $PATH

# .bash_profile
export PATH=$HOME/Documents/projects/leetcode/.venv/bin:$PATH

Finally, run to test:

(leetcode--cookie-get-all)

However, native support for the =my_cookies= package in virtualenv would be much better. I hope that PR #135 gets merged soon.
