pip no longer working after update error 'module' object is not callable

Question

After a pip update, pip has stopped working completely.

Z:\\>pip install matplotlib
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File \"c:\\program files\\python3         


        

Answer 1

If you do not wish to use the long command every time python -m pip install , reinstall pip to the older version where this error wasn't there.

python -m pip install pip==19.0.3

Now you will be able to use pip install matplotlib or pip list normally.

And whenever the bug is resolved, upgrade pip like you did before.
