Uninstalling Default Replit Python Package Prevents Installing New Packages

Support Bug Reports
1

The Replit package in Python is incompatible with many packages due to its specific requirements for versions of very popular packages. Unfortunately, when I uninstall this package it also uninstalls requests (It says Removing requests 2.28.2) which then stops me from adding or removing any further packages with the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

Steps to reproduce:

  • Make a new Python Repl
  • Uninstall the Replit package either in the GUI or with the command poetry remove replit
  • Attempt to install or uninstall another package

Possible solutions to this:

  1. Add requests before you remove replit (poetry add requests)
  2. Try using pip to reinstall requests (pip install requests)
