Thanks for the report @Jninja15 !

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 @Jninja15
Were you able to resolve with issue with Mu with the steps listed in my last message?

[Jninja15]

@carlosperate
I haven't done all of the steps yet, but so far no luck.

Hi @Jninja15, what have you tried so far? the main thing would be to use a virtual environment, to isolate the Mu installation from the system Python packages.
