I have a problem when I try to use pip in any way. I\'m using Ubuntu 16.04.4
I should say that I\'ve used it already, and I never had any problem, but starting today
An answer from askUbuntu works.
For pip2.7, you can at first curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py, then python2.7 get-pip.py --force-reinstall to reinstall pip.
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python2.7 get-pip.py --force-reinstall
Problem solved. Also works for python3.
