pip3 error - '_NamespacePath' object has no attribute 'sort'

I tried to install a package through pip3, and I got this error. Every pip/pip3 command that I run gives me this error-

alexg@hitbox:~$ pip3 -V
Traceback (m         


        

Answer 1

I fixed this with follows:

$curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

For python2:

$python get-pip.py

For python3:

$python3 get-pip.py

Now it works for me.
