Help with PP linux and python...

I want to run my robot code (see toolchanger a differnt way) on the same machine that is running pathpilot.

The Stock tormach pathpilot runs on 17.03 with the rt extensions.
The robot needs Python 3.7
The stock python3 on the Tormach image is 3.4.2

The robot needs numpy that needs at least python 3.5
I've managed to install python3.7 on the Tormach, but pip/ pip3 just does not work.
So I cant install prerequisites like numpy etc....

Googling there is much discussion about pip3 python3.7 being broken on 16.04 seems like it has the same issue on 17.03

I'm really really lost here... I've spent about two days on this trying all the proposed fixes and I'm lost.

Anyone here have any ideas?

What does sudo apt-get install python3-pip do?

IF it helps, I tried to use pip on Windows to install something during the week and it asked me to install the Windows C library at which point I knew I was in trouble but I did what it said and got no further so decided to wait until I was on Linux to try that script!

Says its already the newest version...
but its bound/attached to the python3.4 version...
I need at least 3.5 and prefrably 3.7

To install 3.7 I needed do add the ppa dead snakes repository...

3.7 Runs, pip for 3.7 does

Before I started I first did
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

etc...


It seems that my virtual box image of my pp install acts exactly the same way...
I'll take an hour or so in the morning to do all the upgrades to the pp install v-box to make them match and then report back here...

So with 3.7 installed:
operator@tormachpcnc:~$ python3.7 -m pip install numpy
Traceback (most recent call last):

If I try from pip3

operator@tormachpcnc:~$ pip3 install numpy
Downloading/unpacking numpy

Cleaning up...

The above happens even after changing the python3 sym link to point a 3.7


If I remove python3-pip and reinstall...
(after the symlink i changed:)

I get the exact same result pip is tied to python 3.4
