Pip reference broken

snapcraft

It seems there is something broken on the multipass install.
I’m trying out a super plain publish of a python based snap.
It fails trying to run pip.

Run the same command again with --debug to shell into the environment if you wish to introspect this failure.

I think it is a bug in the python plugin, try clean the python plugin part and rebuild again.

I’ve done ‘snapcraft clean’ 10+ times, is there another way to do that?

Can you share your snapcraft.yaml? It’s very hard to debug without seeing what you’re asking snapcraft to do

I’m happy to write the snapcraft.yaml any way needed, if I can just get a basic Python script to run. I tried to write one based on examples that seemed to be supposed to work.
