So I was having the same issue.
How I got that issue is

  1. I have created venv and home in pyvenv.cfg is pointing to my anaconda dir. I wanted to change it(change the version of python from 3.8.8 to 3.11.0).
  2. downloaded python 3.11.0 zip and pointed home in pyvenv.cfg to extract zip

Before editing home in pyvenv.cfg

Before editing home in pyvenv.cfg

After editing home in pyvenv.cfg

After edit pyvenv.cfg

Here the problem started

python --version is giving 3.11 but pip --version is throwing error

Error when I try command pip

This is the fix I tried

So, I have uncommented import site in pythonxx._pth (xx is python version downloaded)

before commenting:

before editing python311._pth located in python-3.11.0-embed-amd64 extracted zip

after removing the commit:

afterediting python311._pth located in python-3.11.0-embed-amd64 extracted zip

I also got this error when I python tried to use the cached wheel for installing packages

Error after editing python311._pth

then I tried to upgrade pip using cmd: c:\users\sam\desktop\py\django\tst\scripts\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip and then pip install pands worked

Note: when the python dir is changed (changing home var in pyvenv.cfg) uninstalling and re-installing packages will fix a few errors.

May be by some reason pip and wheel did not install in your venv. You may try python -m pip install tablib to check if pip is working as a module.
