Starting from a new install - ImportError: Module use of python311.dll conflicts with this version of Python.

[Britlion]

Cleared out my native installation of python, and trying a new install on an nvidia/windows system. Used to be as easy as download and click "run.bat". Now that gets so far and fails with:

ImportError: Module use of python311.dll conflicts with this version of Python.
Traceback (most recent call last):

Error code: 1

Just typing "pip" alone now fails with the same python311.dll error. What's going on? Has some update borked the installer?

I don't have any other version of Python running. Without running the environment.bat to get paths in place, typing "python" at a command line drops me to the windows store.

Still getting nowhere. Running git pull gets the remainder of the files, but it still crashes out with the same error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "F:\AI_Modelling\Stable Diffusion 1111\webui\launch.py", line 1, in <module> from modules import launch_utils File "F:\AI_Modelling\Stable Diffusion 1111\webui\modules\launch_utils.py", line 9, in <module> import importlib.metadata File "importlib\metadata\__init__.py", line 17, in <module> File "importlib\metadata\_adapters.py", line 3, in <module> File "email\message.py", line 15, in <module> File "email\utils.py", line 29, in <module> File "socket.py", line 51, in <module> ImportError: Module use of python311.dll conflicts with this version of Python.

python --version
Python 3.10.6

This is the version of python it downloaded itself, and seems to be the recommended one; and yet something in the code is incompatible with this. Anyone else running into this issue in Windows with a fresh install?

[Britlion]

Of course, pythin 3.10.6 comes with python310.dll - and use of 311 is patently wrong if we're downloading 3.10.x - This is an error in either the code, if it's referring to the wrong python version, or the installer, if the code has been updated to use 3.11

[Britlion]

I tried a more manual install, with a full version of python 3.10.6 and doing git pull to get Automatic 111.

Same error:

` F:\AI_Modelling\Stable_Diffusion_1111\stable-diffusion-webui>webui-user.bat

exit code: 1

Is this a problem with python 3.10.6 in that the compiled _socket.pyd has a reference to Python's 3.11 DLL, or is this a bug with Automatic 1111?

I'm stuck, here.

FOUND IT.

I had SVP installed, and despite shuffling off path variables, there was a leftover one "PYTHONPATH" in my environment, and that was clearly causing the issue. After testing on another machine, and finding the install seems to work, I went back knowing this was some fotware config. Eventually I found it hiding elsewhere in the env vars. Argh!

Advice for other people with weird python issues:

At the command line, try <set | find /I "python"> - this would have saved me some headaches earlier on.

[catshitz]

then how to make 3.10 works with 3.11 aka making both svp and sd runs at the same time?

Maybe conda is the solution
