Python troubleshooting: ImportError: cannot import name 'main'

Question

I\'m facing a problem with Package Installation, pip. I am using Python 3.6.

When I try to install a package with pip I receive the following message in the cmd.

Answer 1

I fixed it. I deleted the folder with pip as you said. Because I work in Windows 10, I downloaded the get-pip.py from https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/ and I run it.

Answer 2

Firstly if you have installed pip then remove it by deleting the folder of pip inside python directory. Then install pip by this command:

$ sudo easy_install pip

This will install older version, you can download newer version after 10th when it will come.

Answer 3

You can also downgrade to pip 9.x using

python -m pip install -U "pip<10"
