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

Check if pip has been cached on another path, to do so, call $ which pip and check that the path is different from the one prompted in the error, if that's the case run:

$ hash -r

When the cache is clear, pip will be working again. reference: http://cheng.logdown.com/posts/2015/06/14/-usr-bin-pip-no-such-file-or-directory
