It is likely that pip is already installed, if the Homebrew installation of python was successful.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python notes that when installing Python through Homebrew, "Homebrew [automatically] installs pip pointing to the Homebrew’d Python 3 for you."

Try running which pip or which pip3. If you get a response of /usr/local/bin/pip or /usr/local/bin/pip3, then Homebrew installed pip already for you. Else try brew unlink python3 && brew link python3.

And for clarity, from the aformentioned guide:

$ python will launch the Homebrew-installed Python 3 interpreter.

$ python2 will launch the Homebrew-installed Python 2 interpreter (if any).

$ python3 will launch the Homebrew-installed Python 3 interpreter.

As far as I know, pip, pip2, and pip3 will do the same.
