From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Like 'calculate-anything', needs simpleeval library:

~$  pipx install simpleeval
No apps associated with package simpleeval or its dependencies. If you are attempting to install a library, pipx should not be used. Consider using pip or a similar tool instead.

~$  pip install simpleeval
error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try pacman

~$ yay -Ss simpleeval
aur/python-simpleeval 0.9...
    A simple, safe single expression evaluator library.

What to do, install from AUR?

I would recommend you to install it from the aur, so it will still be managed by your package manager.

Extension still didn't work then since a few months and seems abandoned anyway, so that's that.

Yeah from aur or add argument to force pip to not care about pacman.
