Error after upgrading pip: cannot import name 'main'

Question

Whenever I am trying to install any package using pip, I am getting this import error:

guru@guru-notebook:~$ pip3 install numpy
Traceback (most recent call l         


        

Answer 1

Is something wrong with the packages, when it generating de file /usr/bin/pip, you have to change the import:

from pip import main

to

from pip._internal import main

That solves the problem, I'm not sure why it generated, but it saids somthing in the following issue:

After pip 10 upgrade on pyenv "ImportError: cannot import name 'main'"
