<p>Wait.</p><p>I can&#39;t access my pipx-installed pdm by running `python3 -m pdm`, but I can access it by just running `pdm`.</p><p>?? ??? ?why ??? would that ??? change ?????!</p>

<p>remember the Charité bioinformatics group tool TRANSFORMER? it was offline for a while but i just found that it&#39;s back! it&#39;s the best way i know to find out drug-drug interactions from their names <a href="https://insilico-cyp.charite.de/SuperCYPsPred/index.php?site=DrugDrugInteraction" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">insilico-cyp.charite.de/SuperC</span><span class="invisible">YPsPred/index.php?site=DrugDrugInteraction</span></a></p>

<p>pipx force-reinstall did not work. pipx install --force pdm did not work. rm -r ~/.local/pipx/ &amp;&amp; pipx install pdm did not work. any of the above followed by opening a new bash shell did not work. starting to get worried. maybe ubuntu has simply decided i should not be using pipx to install apps anymore.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> this post is living in my head</p>

<p>The quickfixes I used last time to fix this problem are not fixing it :(</p>

<p>$ python3 -m pdm install<br />/usr/bin/python3: No module named pdm<br />$ pipx install pdm<br />&#39;pdm&#39; already seems to be installed. Not modifying existing installation in<br />&#39;/home/mcc/.local/pipx/venvs/pdm&#39;. Pass &#39;--force&#39; to force installation.</p><p>For heck&#39;s sake this is just going to happen every time Ubuntu upgrades python forever, isn&#39;t it.</p><p>I thought the entire point of pipx was to prevent this.</p>
