I\'m deploying a Django app to a dev server and am hitting this error when I run pip install -r requirements.txt:

Answer 1

A lot of answers are recommending the following but if you read through the source of that script, you'll realise it's deprecated.

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -O - | python

If your pip is also broken, this won't work either.

pip install setuptools

I found I had to run the command from Ensure pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date, to get pip working again.

python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
