For some weird reason, my computer only had python2 installed. And the venv was giving me errors, for some reason. So, I installed python3 and now it's like a never-ending nightmare I can't escape from.
Ready to format C and be done with it. LOL

Sometimes it’s just best to do that. Scorched earth.
Gotta agree with Lee. rip though :/
You could try to force load order in $PATH (or %PATH% in windows, methinks) but yeah, it sounds like some stuff got tangled pretty "neatly"...
Also, depending on what you are doing, something I have found myself do a lot as of late is to just:
$ docker run -v $PWD:$PWD alpine:3.19 sh -c "cd $PWD; sh -i"
A little bit unwieldy, but it just puts you into a clean environment. Then you can just:
$ apk add -U python3 py3-sqlite
and now you can hack away. =) There's probably a better container for python specifically, but aside from the container image, the rest is universal. It helps to isolate away sometimes. Doesn't help for fixed installs though...
You could also try to use a portable python install, change 4path in that session to reference that path before any other and see if that does anything?
Other than that, i have no idea. x)
