Thanks for the report @Thecatinamustang.

I believe this issue might be mu-editor/mu#1954 (comment).

Possible workarounds:

• Install the python3-virtualenv package using apt (or your OS package manager)
• Install Mu in a virtual environment, as that is the recommended way and it should work much better.
• I would also personally recommend to use pipx, as it's great for installing Python-based applications: https://pypa.github.io/pipx/
  • pipx will automatically install Python applications in their own isolated virtual environment, and add the executable to the PATH so that it can be easily launched like any other app.

Hi @Thecatinamustang
Were you able to resolve with issue with Mu with the steps listed in my last message?

[Thecatinamustang]

Hey carlosperate, I didn't try fixing it yet. I am a complete baby to the whole programming and programs field. For the moment, I postponed this project. But I'll come back to it soon and let you know.

Okay, I'll close this issue in that case. If in the future you can give it a try again please feel free to reopen this issue or create a new one. Thanks for the testing and the report!
