   hey @youknowone, thanks for your work on this project. I'm interested in using rustpython in an open source project i'm working on. would closing this issue allow projects using rustpython as a crate be able to dynamically execute python files with import statements just like a jupyter notebook? how do i help with this?

   @cs50victor Hi, RustPython already can import a lot of pure python packages while it is compatible to RustPython.
   This issue is about installing a new package using pip command. This is not related to import step.

   To help this issue, checking if the new release of those project included the patched code would be helpful. Once all of them are solved, I will update it and test them again.

   Okay, we fixed macos and linux PIP, but not yet windows.
   Actually we never had working PIP on windows yet.
   I submitted another patch to platformdirs, which I had to also test when I wrote the first patch 🥲

   I opened #7956 separately, feel free to move if it fits better as a bullet point here.
