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

This Worked for me !

hash -r pip # or hash -d pip

Now, uninstall the pip installed version and reinstall it using the following commands.

python -m pip uninstall pip  # sudo
sudo apt install --reinstall python-pip

If pip is broken, use:

python -m pip install --force-reinstall pip

Hope it helps!
