Trying to run this for the first time.

Code

import { pip } from "https://deno.land/x/python/ext/pip.ts";

const np = await pip.import("numpy");
const plt = await pip.import("matplotlib", "matplotlib.pyplot");

const xpoints = np.array([1, 8]);
const ypoints = np.array([3, 10]);

plt.plot(xpoints, ypoints);
plt.show();

Terminal

I think this is an issue with importlib.metadata which is a relatively new package an may not work with older python versions (maybe only works like we use it in 3.11?), a solution would be to fall back to pkg_resources for older python versions. Will look into this when I have time unless someone wants to crate a pr and fix it earlier. Thanks for the report!

Still completely broken. Same issue.
