   I want to upgrade from Python 3.8 to 3.9.

   I've got several command line apps, linked in ~/.local, which I installed with pip.

   Is there a way to get 3.8 pip to give me a list of everything it's got installed, so I can uninstall 3.8 and then reinstall them under 3.9?

   This is Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

     @mcc This is where i find things like ChatGPT et al actually helpful. I love the opening line it gave me too. it goes on to 8 points. Of course, you run the risk it gives a bad step, but I've had wonderful luck with this type of thing...

     No, no, the problem is worse than I thought.
     - I tell apt to install python3.9. It does.
     - I tell apt to remove python3.8. It says, okay, then I'll uninstall all these other things also: and the list includes ubuntu-release-upgrader-core ubuntu-standard and CLEARLY if I say yes I will no longer have a functional system.

     I have python 3.9. But when I run apps I installed via pip, they complain that they're running in python 3.8. I don't actually know how to fix this. gghgshfhg
