AttributeError: Module Pip has no attribute 'main'

Question

I am trying to build the python api for an open source project called Zulip and I keep running into the same issue as indicated by the screenshot below.

I am running

Answer 1

First run

import pip
pip.__version__

If the result is '10.0.0', then it means that you installed pip successfully
since pip 10.0.0 doesn't support pip.main() any more, you may find this helpful

Use something like import subprocess subprocess.check_call(["python", '-m', 'pip', 'install', 'pkg']) # install pkg subprocess.check_call(["python", '-m', 'pip', 'install',"--upgrade", 'pkg']) # upgrade pkg

Edit: pip 10.0.1 still doesn't support main
You can choose to DOWNGRADE your pip version via following command:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip==9.0.3
