Configuring Python for ExternalEvaluate

I am following this guide to try to get Python working in ExternalEvaluate. (on Windows 11, Mathematica 13.0). So far, I have successfully installed Python (Step 1), and the Python package manager (Step 2), and the “pyzmq” package for Python (Step 3).

But I get a “Missing Dependencies” error on Step 4:

From this post , I learned that this may be because the Python library path may not be in Mathematica’s default Path. So I tried using SetEnvironment, to no avail:

I then use RegisterExternalEvaluator, but still get MissingDependencies:

And FindExternalEvaluators["Python"] still shows MissingDependencies. Not sure what else to try.

So I am.

Recent versions of Wolfram Language have seen massive improvements and simplifications in the workflow of integrating Python. See my recent post here for some pointers:
