Error "/usr/local/bin/python: No module named pip"

I installed pip, but if I try to install a package with

python -m pip install requests

it says

/usr/local/bin/python: No module named pip

How can I figure out where the problem is?

The problem is not with pip, but that the modules are not installed in the right way, so I can’t use them in Python. I am using Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet).

I had to do something similar, and tom's answer didn't quite work on DigitalOcean and Ubuntu 14.04.05 (Trusty Tahr).

apt-get install python-setuptools
easy_install pip
apt-get install python3-dev
pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install cryptography
pip install paramiko

My openSUSE box at work did not have pip installed and YaST did not find it. I figured out that YaST was only pointing to a local package-repository which apparently was missing pip.

I have added the official openSUSE repository, which I found on Package repositories and then was able to find and install pip.

Pip is a Python packaging module that helps us to install Python libraries. To install Python libraries/modules, you need to install pip -

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
sudo easy_install pip
sudo apt-get update
which pip # To check pip install or not
pip install requests

My situation is that the Python 3 works fine, but pip 3 does not work (the default Python version is Python 2.7, but it doesn't matter).

I solve this problem by the following command:

apt-get purge python3-pip
apt-get install -y python3-pip

And if you are not the root user, you may need to add sudo in the beginning of the command.

See if the package is installed in the site-packages of your Python version.

It gives the path where all your packages reside for particular Python version.

import sys, os; print os.sep.join([sys.prefix, 'lib', 'python' + sys.version[:3], 'site-packages']);

If you find requests there, then import requests should work. Otherwise, add the above path to your Python interpreter's path by using the below code.

import sys
sys.path.append("<path>")
