Basically  pip comes with python itself Therefore it carries no meaning for using pip itself to install or upgrade python  Thus try to install python through installer itself visit the site   https   www python org downloads   for more help  Thank you

pip is designed to upgrade python packages and not to upgrade python itself  pip shouldn t try to upgrade python when you ask it to do so   Don t type pip install python but use an installer instead
