ImportError: No module named 'urllib3'

Everytime I use pip command the command failed with error: "ImportError: No module named 'urllib3'". I do got urllib3 installed, and when I'm trying to install urllib3 again I got the same error. What can I do?

I'm using windows 10.

I cant run "pip install virtualenv", I got the same error with any pip command.

I solved this issue by deinstalling python and reinstall it.

Then you can run 

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

to get the latest version of pip

May be worth double checking your PYTHONPATH Environment Variable in: Control Panel\System and Security\System -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables. I had a rogue copy of Python that caused this exact error

You probably need to bootstrap your installation of pip so that you can move along with this.

  1. Download the bootstrap script from https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

  2. Using whatever version of Python you wish, run it, e.g.,

    C:\\Python35.exe get-pip.py

After that finishes you should be able to pip install whatever you'd like.

For escaping this error try to install virtualenv through "pip install virtualenv" and create the virtual environment directory using "python3 -m venv myvenv" which will create a myvenv named folder now activate the myvenv folder using "source \myvenv\bin\activate" now you have your virtual environment setup now you can install whatever you want under the venv , which will not conflict with your base os installed programs try some googling to explore pic virtualenv setup and use. happy coding :)
