upgrade pip fail: "python -m pip install --upgrade pip" was tried

Command I input: pip install ipython

You are using pip version 9.0.3, however version 21.2.4 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.*

I tried the command it provided: python -m pip install --upgrade pip

it showed nothing. After that, I tried "pip install ipython" again the same error popped up.

This was the case for me. By typing this command easy_install -U pip it worked for me.
