Python not found when running webui-user.bat

[Shermoney99]

I decided to jump into the AI art world and went along with this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po-ykkCLE6M when I get to the 6:00 min mark where I need to use webui-user I get the following error

Couldn't launch python

exit code: 9009

stderr:
Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases.

Launch unsuccessful. Exiting.
Press any key to continue . . .

I am using 3.10 64-bit and have tried it installed on both C/ and the local drive that holds my installation. inside App Execution Aliases I only see - App Installer python.exe and App Installer python3.ext- Both were on, but when I set them to off and re-attempted webui i got this error

Couldn't launch python

exit code: 9009

stderr:
'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Launch unsuccessful. Exiting.
Press any key to continue . . .

I am not much for coding (or any of this really) so I'm afraid I have reached the limits of what I'm able to figure out on my own. looking forward to any insight you guys might have on this.
Cheers.

If you installed python from their website, be sure to check add to PATH (the video you followed didn't mention that).

Or you can get it from the Windows store.

[Shermoney99]

Thank you. I got it directly from python, and that was something I was concerned about when installing it because there were a lot of options. I was pretty sure I had PATH selected, but i guess I was wrong. the install from windows directly worked perfectly. Thank you again!

[CanonDMajor]

It worked for me too. Thank you! One more thing though, when I try to generate a piece of art, it says "connection error out." Do I need to have the window that gives me the URL open when I do this, or am I missing something?

[AmethystQueen]

Hi, Im facing the same issue. I have python installed from both the links you have shared. Do I have to uninstall the one I got directly from their website to get it to work?

[AmethystQueen]

Update - I tried to uninstall them both and restart my system. Then I installed it just from the store and am now getting this error.

[Armanahd]

That's why I told you to rename file name with .bat . GitHub didn't allow me to send .bat file

[Armanahd]

Set windows to show file name endings or open it in edit and save it as "webui-user.bat" (WITH the " marks)

[Armanahd]

i fix that but it happened:

Try doing the process over again and see if that works, I followed along a video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po-ykkCLE6M
This helps with the process of getting it locally, and it should be more likely to give you the .bat file. If this does not work, then I am at a loss.

stderr:
C:\Windows\system32\python.exe: Error while finding module specification for 'pip' (AttributeError: module 'enum' has no attribute 'global_enum')

when i run the webuiuser batch file i keep getting this error pleasehelp

[numayrhabib]

i

Maybe python is in different folder. You have to install python in here C:\Windows\system32\

thats what i did but its not showing up in the system32 folder. am i doing something wrong?

[noobbuddy]

Uninstall python and reinstall. Maybe it will help

[noobbuddy]

And check your python version it must be 3.10.9 otherwise it won't work

[numayrhabib]

program name = 'python'
isolated = 0
environment = 1
user site = 1
safe_path = 0
import site = 1
is in build tree = 0
stdlib dir = 'C:\AI\stable-diffusion-webui\Lib'
sys._base_executable = 'C:\Windows\system32\python.exe' program name = 'python'

'C:\Windows\system32\python311.zip',

'C:\Windows\system32',
]

im getting this now. Does it mean that its working?

[CanonDMajor]

Is this the only thing that pops up? No URL to the local version of stable diffusion? I had an error before but it was because I didn’t install Python, check to see if you truly have it installed, it should be in the folder with the .bat file. Or try waiting for like 5 minutes, it took time for the URL to appear for me when I opened the .bat file.

I went ahead and uninstalled python and then installed the version that worked from a tutorial
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-31010/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po-ykkCLE6M

That might help

[GwriPennar]

Also when you install on a windows machine - make sure Python has the Add Path check box ticked on the installer - so that system variables are updated.

[RapiDic3]

Go to start -> then search -> Manage App Execution Aliases -> turn off

[RapiDic3]

this worked for me

[RapiDic3]

turn off the python ones and boom working fine

[bluenvel]

Thank you, does work

[Smoothcriminals23]

I followed this process, but at Manage App Execution Aliases, there is a list of boxes I can turn off. Which one is it that I need to turn off? Sorry I have no idea how to do this.

[aiakon]

this worked for me thanks a lot

[cpamp]

If you're still having issues, you can update the bat file in a text editor and set the python env there, for example:

set PYTHON=C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe

[sajadrazi2017]

this is right👌👌

[jitenb]

just download the Python 3.10.10 version , install it
remove or uinstall any newer or older version.
restart pc
it will work

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-31010/

[adityapokuri229]

Found a method!

1. Go to cmd and type py instead of python

2.If you get the above output, go to your stable-diffusion folder edit web-ui.bat and in the 7th line change if not defined PYTHON (set PYTHON=python) to if not defined PYTHON (set PYTHON=py)

Boom! and it should work.
