No Module named pip when running it

Question

When I use pip3 I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/pip3", line 7, in <module>
    from pip import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip'

I tried to reinstall PIP but still reported this error, but I use python3 -m ensurepip

It told me to install Xcode command line

$ python3 -m ensurepip
$ xcode-select: Failed to locate 'python3.9', requesting installation of command line developer tools.

Answer 1

Try to install python3.9 as suggested by the terminal.

Answer 2

I had this problem when I was trying to update the pip and it failed. This always works for me:

• 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:

python get-pip.py
