pip - No module named 'pip' even after successful installation

I am trying to install pip on my Windows 10 system. I got the get-pip.py file and ran the command

python get-pip.py

Here's a snapshot of the terminal

$ python get-pip.py
Collecting pip

fb3e56c8b4f768793a237ec4ee59891959d6a215d63f727023/pip-19.0.1-py2

none-any.whl
Installing collected packages: pip, setuptools, wheel
Successfully installed pip-19.0.1 setuptools-40.8.0 wheel-0.32.3

Now when I try to check the version with

pip -V

I get this - 

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main
 File "runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code
 File "C:\Program Files\Python\python-3.6.3-embed- 
 amd64\Scripts\pip.exe\__main__.py", line 5, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip'

Why is this happening? It JUST said pip installed successfully and when I try to see the version to check if its installed, it says No module named 'pip'

Also, I have included C:/Program/Files/Python/python3/Scripts in the PATH variable.

Please help ! ! ! !

I suggest referring to the pip homepage: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/ It describes all methods on how to install pip. I am a win10 user so the solution was to run this command:

py -m ensurepip --upgrade

If your Python environment does not have pip installed, there are 2 mechanisms to install pip supported directly by pip’s maintainers:

  1. ensurepip

  2. get-pip.py

Method 1

ensurepip Python comes with an ensurepip module1, which can install pip in a Python environment.

  1. Linux: python -m ensurepip --upgrade

  2. MacOc: python -m ensurepip --upgrade

  3. Windows: py -m ensurepip --upgrade

Method 2

get-pip.py This is a Python script that uses some bootstrapping logic to install pip.

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

Open a terminal/command prompt, cd to the folder containing the get-pip.py file and run:

  1. Linux: python get-pip.py

  2. MacOc: python get-pip.py

  3. Windows: py get-pip.py

Above installation commands are in official python link.

Optional

After successful installation of pip you might want to upgrade pip to latest version

for Linux and MacOs python -m pip install --upgrade pip

for Windows : py -m pip install --upgrade pip

  • Open python37._pth file which is in the root folder of python.
  • Add Lib\site-packages line.

All will work fine.

The following steps may be followed to install pip on windows:

  1. Download python file: get-pip.py (nearly 1.8 MB size) from link: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/#installing-with-get-pip-py and save it to your desktop
  2. Go to command prompt and Check your python version: c:> python
  3. From command prompt run: c:> python get-pip.py
  4. The above will install new version of pip. check by running C:> pip --version
  5. You may also update setup tools - C:> pip install --upgrade pip setuptools

I found files in my Windows lib\site-packages directory ~ip ~ip-20-0.2.dist-info

Renamed them to pip pip-20-0.2.dist-info

And it worked to run pip install --upgrade pip

Use following commands can be used to find out whether pip extraction path is included or not.

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path

if Lib\site-packages path is not included then update file python37._pth.

Run the command again and path should be visible.

pip install <module name> worked successfully for me after this.

Thanks @demianzhang for the hint or even for the solution.

After running python get-pip.py, python install-dir will increase dir Lib\site-packages

Method 1. try to cp the pip dir into the python install-dir

or

Method 2. change file python3x._pth in python install-dir，append this line Lib\site-packages

run pip, problem will be solved
