Hello,
I'm hit by this bug.
I have installed the application with pip on Linux in user space (option --user).
but I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/yves/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pipgui/__main__.py", line 180, in radioCheck
    self.install = InstallWindow()
  File "/home/yves/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pipgui/__main__.py", line 366, in __init__
    self.offlinePackages = json.load(open(
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type: '/home/yves/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pipgui/./Resource_Files/Installed Packages/installedPackageList3.json'
Abandon (core dumped)

I have /home/yves/pip-gui/pipgui/Resource_Files/Installed Packages/installedPackageList3.json which is in the clone of git repository.
Indeed '/home/yves/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pipgui/./Resource_Files doesn't exist.
I don't understand why these files are stored in the application location.
For what I understand, these files are to store data about the system where the application is executed.
Why not using a standard location? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32525196/how-to-get-a-settings-storage-path-in-a-cross-platform-way-in-qt
