In order to completely remove pip  I believe you have to delete its files from all Python versions on your computer  For me  they are here   cd  Library Frameworks Python framework Versions Current bin  cd  Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 3 3 bin    You may need to remove the files or the directories located at these file-paths  and more  depending on the number of versions of Python you have installed    Edit  to find all versions of pip on your machine  use  find   -name pip 2 gt  dev null  which starts at its highest level  hence the    and hides all error messages  that s what 2 gt  dev null does   This is my output     find   -name pip 2 gt  dev null  Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 2 7 bin pip  Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 2 7 lib python2 7 site-packages pip  Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 3 3 bin pip  Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 3 3 lib python3 3 site-packages pip  Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 3 4 lib python3 4 site-packages pip  Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 7 1 bin pip  Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 7 1 lib python2 7 site-packages pip-1 4 1-py2 7 egg pip
