Root Cause

Multiple installations of the same package, often due to user vs system site-packages conflicts.

generic

中文

同一包有多个安装，通常由于用户与系统 site-packages 冲突。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success 
    Check `pip list` and `python -m pip list` to see which pip is used; ensure you're using the correct environment.
  2. 85% success 
    Use `pip install --force-reinstall foo` or uninstall all copies: `pip uninstall foo -y && pip install foo`.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 60% fail

    May not resolve the conflict if multiple installations exist.

  2. 50% fail

    May leave stale files or not remove all copies.
