AttributeError: Module Pip has no attribute 'main'

Question

I am trying to build the python api for an open source project called Zulip and I keep running into the same issue as indicated by the screenshot below.

I am running

Answer 1

I faced the same error while using pip on anaconda3 4.4.0 (python 3.6) on windows.

I fixed the problem by the following command:

easy_install pip==18.*  ### installing the latest version pip

Or if lower version pip required, mention the same in the command.

Or you can try installing the lower version and then upgrading the same to latest version as follow:

easy_install pip==9.0.1

easy_install --upgrade pip

Answer 2

Not sure about Windows. But for mac users, use this:

pip install --upgrade pip==9.0.3

Answer 3

If python -m pip install --upgrade pip==9.0.3 doesn't work, and you're using Windows,

1. Navigate to this directory and move the pip folders elsewhere.

2. Close your IDE if you have it open.

3. Press 'Repair' on Python 3.

4. Your IDE should cease to detect pip packages and prompt you to install them. Install and keep the last stable pip version by blocking automatic updates.

Answer 4

I fixed this problem upgrading to latest version

sudo pip install --upgrade pip

My version: pip 18.1 from /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip (python 2.7)

Answer 5

Try this command.

python -m pip install --user pip==9.0.1
