The 'pip==7.1.0' distribution was not found and is required by the application

Question

I have the latest version of pip 8.1.1 on my ubuntu 16. But I am not able to install any modules via pip as I get this error all the time.

File \"/usr/local/         


        

Answer 1

After upgrading from 18.0 to 18.1, I got the same error. Reinstalling the program(without using pip itself) worked for me:

$ curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py > get-pip.py
$ sudo python get-pip.py
