ImportError: No module named pip
PythonMacosPipPython Problem Overview
OS: Mac OS X 10.7.5 Python Ver: 2.7.5
I have installed setuptools 1.0 with ez_setup.py from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools Then I download pip.1.4.1 pkg from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip/1.4.1.
Run (sudo) python setup.py install in iTerm shows that

Anyone who met the same problem before and can give me some tips to solve it?
Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
I had the same problem. My solution:
For Python 3
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
For Python 2
sudo apt-get install python-pip
Solution 2 - Python
On Mac using brew is a better option as apt-get is not available. Command:
brew install python
In case you have both python2 & python3 installed on machine
python2.7 -m ensurepip --default-pip
simply should solve the issue.
If instead you are missing pip from python 3 then simply change python2.7 to python3 in the command above.
Solution 3 - Python
With macOS 10.15 and Homebrew 2.1.6 I was getting this error with Python 3.7. I just needed to run:
python3 -m ensurepip
Now python3 -m pip works for me.
Solution 4 - Python
After installing ez_setup, you should have easy_install available. To install pip just do:
easy_install pip
Solution 5 - Python
Try to install pip through Python:
Please go to: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/
and download get-pip.py, and then run:
(sudo) python get-pip.py
Solution 6 - Python
for Windows:
python -m ensurepip
after activate your env ex : venv
(venv) PS D:\your path> d:\your path\venv\scripts\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip
sample of result:
Collecting pip
Using cached pip-21.3-py3-none-any.whl (1.7 MB)
Installing collected packages: pip
Attempting uninstall: pip
Found existing installation: pip 20.1.1
Uninstalling pip-20.1.1:
Successfully uninstalled pip-20.1.1
Successfully installed pip-21.3
Solution 7 - Python
Run
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
Then run the following command in the folder where you downloaded: get-pip.py
python get-pip.py
Solution 8 - Python
On some kind of Linux, like distros based on Debian, you might want to consider updating your 'apt-get' first, in case you are installing python-pip through it.
sudo apt-get update
This might help apt-get to update its indexes and locate the python-pip package. After this, u might install pip like this-
sudo apt-get install python-pip (Python2)
sudo apt-get install python3-pip (Python3)
Solution 9 - Python
I ran into this same issue when I attempted to install the nova client.
spencers-macbook-pro:python-novaclient root# python setup.py install
running install
/usr/bin/python: No module named pip
error: /usr/bin/python -m pip.__init__ install 'pbr>=0.5.21,<1.0' 'iso8601>=0.1.4' 'PrettyTable>=0.6,<0.8' 'requests>=1.1' 'simplejson>=2.0.9' 'six' 'Babel>=0.9.6' returned 1
I use homebrew so I worked around the issue with sudo easy_install pip
spencers-macbook-pro:python-novaclient root# brew search pip
aespipe brew-pip lesspipe pipebench pipemeter spiped pipeviewer
If you meant "pip" precisely:
Homebrew provides pip via: `brew install python`. However you will then
have two Pythons installed on your Mac, so alternatively you can:
sudo easy_install pip
spencers-macbook-pro:python-novaclient root# sudo easy_install pip
The commands should be similar if you use macports.
Solution 10 - Python
I encountered the same error with Python 3.8.6 on MacOS Big Sur.
Whether I used pip or pip3 I'd get this error:
File "/Users/marcelloromani/dev/<repository>/venv/bin/pip", line 5, in <module>
from pip._internal.cli.main import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip'
It turns out my virtualenv was out of date. This fixed the issue for me:
- Remove the old virtualenv
$ deactivate
$ rm -rf venv
- Initialise a new virtualenv
$ virtualenv venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
- Install the new requirements then worked:
$ pip install -r src/requirements.txt
Solution 11 - Python
Try to re-install the pip use curl command to download the get-pip.py file:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python get-pip.py
if curl is not working then open this link : get-pip.py
create a get-pip.py file in your directory copy the code from this link and put it in the get-pip.py file and save the file in the same directory. then run the command
python get-pip.py
Solution 12 - Python
I think none of these answers above can fix your problem.
I was also confused by this problem once. You should manually install pip following the official guide pip installation (which currently involves running a single get-pip.py Python script)
after that, just sudo pip install Django.
The error will be gone.
Solution 13 - Python
I downloaded pip binaries from here and it resolved the issue.
Solution 14 - Python
I know this thread is old, but I just solved the problem for myself on OS X differently than described here.
Basically I reinstalled Python 2.7 through brew, and it comes with pip.
Install Xcode if not already:
xcode-select –install
Install Brew as described here:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Then install Python through Brew:
brew install python
And you're done. In my case I just needed to install pyserial.
pip install pyserial
Solution 15 - Python
If you get "No module named pip" in ubuntu, try this.
$python3 -m pip --version
/usr/bin/python3: No module named pip
$sudo apt-get install python3-pip
It worked for me.
After successful installation validate using
$python3 -m pip --version
To upgrade to latest pip version
$python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
Solution 16 - Python
In terminal try this:
ls -lA /usr/local/bin | grep pip
in my case i get:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 284 Сен 13 16:20 pip
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 204 Окт 27 16:37 pip2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 204 Окт 27 16:37 pip2.7
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 292 Сен 13 16:20 pip-3.4
So pip2 || pip2.7 in my case works, and pip
Solution 17 - Python
Download:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
Then Install pip:
py get-pip.py
Then Install biopython:
py -m pip install biopython
I wish it would be useful
Solution 18 - Python
I encountered the issue ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip' when I created a new Python 3 virtual environment using the command
python3 -m venv ~/venv/ontology ## << note: "python3" (problematic)
which is a command often suggested (here, elsewhere). When I entered that venv, pip was nowhere to be found.
In the interim, since first using that command to create Python virtual environments, my system Python had upgraded (Arch Linux system updates) from Python 3.7.4 to Python 3.9.2.
The solution is to use the command
python -m venv <your_venv> ## e.g. python -m ~/venv/ontology
When I did that (python -m ... not python3 -m ...), that venv now contained pip ...
To upgrade pip within that venv, use
<your_venv_path>/bin/python -m pip install --upgrade pip
## e.g.
## /home/victoria/venv/ontology/bin/python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Solution 19 - Python
For python2.7, download from https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py
then run
python get-pip.py
Solution 20 - Python
I am using Debian, but this solution can also be applied for Ubuntu.
-
Usually, pip comes with python by default, in order to check if pip is installed in your system run. > python -m pip --version
-
If pip is not there, install it using Aptitude Linux Package Manager,
> # For Python 2 > sudo apt install python-pip >
> # For Python 3 > sudo apt install python3-venv python3-pip -
I wouldn't use the
get-pip.pyscript in Debian/Ubuntu, because in the documentation page mentions the following. > Be cautious if you are using a Python install that is managed by your operating system or another package manager. get-pip.py does not coordinate with those tools, and may leave your system in an inconsistent state.
Solution 21 - Python
I solved a similar error on Linux by setting PYTHONPATH to the site-packages location. This was after running python get-pip.py --prefix /home/chet/pip.
[chet@rhel1 ~]$ ~/pip/bin/pip -V
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/chet/pip/bin/pip", line 7, in <module>
from pip import main
ImportError: No module named pip
[chet@rhel1 ~]$ export PYTHONPATH=/home/chet/pip/lib/python2.6/site-packages
[chet@rhel1 ~]$ ~/pip/bin/pip -V
pip 9.0.1 from /home/chet/pip/lib/python2.6/site-packages (python 2.6)
Solution 22 - Python
my py version is 3.7.3, and this cmd worked
python3.7 -m pip install requests
requests library - for retrieving data from web APIs.
This runs the pip module and asks it to find the requests library on PyPI.org (the Python Package Index) and install it in your local system so that it becomes available for you to import
Solution 23 - Python
Tested below for Linux: You can directly download pip from https://pypi.org/simple/pip/ untar and use directly with your latest python.
tar -xvf pip-0.2.tar.gz
cd pip-0.2
Check for the contents.
anant$ ls
docs pip.egg-info pip-log.txt pip.py PKG-INFO regen-docs scripts setup.cfg setup.py tests
Execute directly:
anant$ python pip.py --help
Usage: pip.py COMMAND [OPTIONS]
Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-E DIR, --environment=DIR
virtualenv environment to run pip in (either give the
interpreter or the environment base directory)
-v, --verbose Give more output
-q, --quiet Give less output
--log=FILENAME Log file where a complete (maximum verbosity) record
will be kept
--proxy=PROXY Specify a proxy in the form
user:passwd@proxy.server:port. Note that the
user:password@ is optional and required only if you
are behind an authenticated proxy. If you provide
user@proxy.server:port then you will be prompted for a
password.
--timeout=SECONDS Set the socket timeout (default 15 seconds)
Solution 24 - Python
Here's a minimal set of instructions for upgrading to Python 3 using MacPorts:
sudo port install py37-pip
sudo port select --set pip pip37
sudo port select --set pip3 pip37
sudo pip install numpy, scipy, matplotlib
I ran some old code and it works again after this upgrade.
Solution 25 - Python
Followed the advise on this URL, to rename the python39._pth file. That solved the issue
ren python39._pth python39._pth.save
Solution 26 - Python
I just needed to replace pip with pip3 so I ended up running the command as follows: pip3 install matplotlib
Solution 27 - Python
I had a similar problem with virtualenv that had python3.8 while installing dependencies from requirements.txt file. I managed to get it to work by activating the virtualenv and then running the command python -m pip install -r requirements.txt and it worked.
Solution 28 - Python
For Windows:
If pip is not available when Python is downloaded: run the command
python get-pip.py
Solution 29 - Python
run sudo apt-get install pip and try again the process this fixed mine problem
