venv - pip not found

Question

• I am using Windows 10 & Python 3.9

• I am new to Python, after I created venv and facing the following errors:

• My venv is able to catch the pip path when I use the command where pip. Which is in F drive

    (venv) F:\Documents\venv\MachineLearning\venv> where pip
  
       F:\Documents\venv\MachineLearning\venv\Scripts\pip.exe
  
       C:\Users\MALARMANNAN R\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts\pip.exe
       F:\Additional softwares\python\Python\Scripts\pip.exe
  

• But when I use pip list or pip install <package_name>, I am getting error : ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip'

    (venv) F:\Documents\venv\MachineLearning\venv>pip list
  
    Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "C:\Users\MALARMANNAN R\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\runpy.py", line 197, in _run_module_as_main 
             return _run_code(code, main_globals, None,
        File "C:\Users\MALARMANNAN R\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\runpy.py", line 87, in _run_code 
             exec(code, run_globals)
        File "F:\Documents\venv\MachineLearning\venv\Scripts\pip.exe\__main__.py", line 4, in <module>
  
   ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip'

Answer 2

• My problem is resolved.

• Instead of using pip install <packages> just need to use python -m pip install <packages>, within venv to avoid the following error

    ModuleImportError : No module namded pip
