Python hanging on importing Strawberry Fields

Hi @tomdodd4598, welcome to the forum!

This is super puzzling, it’s the first time I see this issue.

Can you please share more information about the device you’re using so that we can investigate this issue?

If you run python -m pip install strawberryfields instead of just pip install strawberryfields do you see any difference?

My recommendation in the meantime is to use Google Colab and use ! pip install strawberryfields (with the exclamation mark).

I look forward to seeing your reply!
