pip no longer working after update error 'module' object is not callable

问题

After a pip update, pip has stopped working completely.

Z:\>pip install matplotlib
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\program files\python37\lib\runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", mod_spec)
  File "c:\program files\python37\lib\runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code
    exec(code, run_globals)
  File "C:\Program Files\Python37\Scripts\pip.exe\__main__.py", line 9, in <module>
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

Any help please?

Edit: I am working on windows 10

All credit for this goes to user han_solo, who left the answer as a comment, instead of as an answer:

Instead of pip install stdlib_list --user

use python -m pip install stdlib_list --user

Replace stdlib_list with matplotlib or whatever the name is of the package you want.

I've had the same issue as you, and I solved it uninstalling pip and installing again.

To uninstall: python -m pip uninstall pip

To install, follow the instructions: https://www.liquidweb.com/kb/install-pip-windows/

After that you will going to have a older but functional 19.0.3 version.

Similar to what @han_solo said, but if your running python3, instead of using:

python -m pip install stdlib_list --user

try using:

python3 -m pip install stdlib_list --user

Have the habit of installing any python packages with pip using python -m, say for installing numpy use below command:

python -m pip install numpy

In case if it errros out with the environment permission error append --user in the same command:

python -m pip install numpy --user
