Does package management of a WinPython installation depend on the machine?

Question

I have a WinPython installation on a network server that I can access from two different machines. As the installation is portable, I would expect the packages versions to be the same whether I use one or the other machine.

However, I recently downgraded tensorflow from 2.9 to 2.6 using machine A, and when I check the installed version, I get:

• 2.6 when running the command from machine A.
• 2.9 when running the command from machine B.

What should I do on machine B to fix the situation ?

Answer 1

Actually I found the issue. When downgrading tensorflow I used the --user option, so 2.6 version was installed in a user-specific location of machine A, not accessible from machine B.
