[bug] If pint is not installed, suggest user restarts ulauncher after install

I'm seeing the same on Manjaro KDE. But although Python says the requirement is already satisfied, restarting ULauncher just shows the same message needing pint installed.

I'm seeing the same on Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon. Python requirements are installed like so:

$ pip install Pint simpleeval parsedatetime pytz
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Requirement already satisfied: Pint in ./.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages (0.23)
Requirement already satisfied: simpleeval in ./.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages (0.9.13)
Requirement already satisfied: parsedatetime in ./.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages (2.6)
Requirement already satisfied: pytz in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (2022.1)
Requirement already satisfied: typing-extensions in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (from Pint) (3.10.0.2)

Re-launching Ulauncher doesn't help at all.

I've met this same problem on my Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
Everything looks like packet is yet installed but it somehow fails.
What i discovered is if I just run python interactive console i can import pint with no problem.
Finally what I discovered is that i had two installs of pint - one from pip install and one from apt.
I deleted pint that was from apt (as it was quite old and couldn't handle import Self from typing_extensions) and reinstalled or upgraded the one from pip.
And I now can use this plugin flawlessly.

How did you install the plugin?

Depending on your system and python version pip may refer to pip for python2 and pip for python 3. You may have installed pint for the wrong python version.

To make sure you use the proper one try using python3 -m pip install pint.

Let me know if this helps.

EDIT: The extension tells you to restart the launcher.
EIDT2: #51 changes these suggestions to /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install. The reason is that ulauncher uses #!/usr/bin/python3 to run.

Didn't help.

$ /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install pint 
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Requirement already satisfied: pint in ./.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages (0.23)
Requirement already satisfied: typing-extensions in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (from pint) (3.10.0.2)

EDIT:

$ which python3
/usr/bin/python3
