Pipenv-Error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip._internal'

Question

Today, I installed Pipenv via

pip install pipenv

As mentioned in the documentation I went to a test directory and created a new virtual environment

Answer 1

I have had the same issue (python 3.5/Ubuntu 16.04LTS). Reinstalling pip with:

sudo apt install python-pip python-pip3 --reinstall

didn't solve the issue with me.

What worked in my case was reinstalling pipenv itself, from pip:

sudo pip3 install pipenv --force-reinstall

If you are running python 2.x or if your system is different than mine, you can try to replace pip3 with pip in the command:

sudo pip install pipenv --force-reinstall
