[python] Why am I getting ImportError: No module named pip ' right after installing pip?

I have installed pip and ez setup. I also checked the system path and I can see the module in the folder structure. Still when i try to run pip command, I get an Import error saying no module named pip. I am running 32bit python on a windows7 machine

What solved the issue on my case was go to:

cd C:\Program Files\Python37\Scripts

And run below command:

easy_install.exe pip

The method I'm going to tell might not be the correct way to do it. But this method solved my issue. I tried every solution on youtube and StackOverflow methods.

1. If you have two python versions installed. Delete one. I have the python 3.8.1 and 3.9.0 versions installed. I deleted version 3.9.0 from the C directory.

2. Now go to the control panel > System and security > System > Advanced system settings.

Click on 'environment variables'.

Select the path and click on 'edit'

Now, add the path of the python and also the path of pip module. In my case it was c:\python38 and c:\python38\scripts

This method solved my issue.

Running these 2 commands helped me:

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

python get-pip.py

I was facing same issue and resolved using following steps

1) Go to your paython package and rename "python37._pth" to python37._pth.save

2) curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

3) then run python get-pip.py

4) pip install django

Hope this help

try to type pip3 instead pip. also for upgrading pip dont use pip3 in the command

python -m pip install -U pip

maybe it helps

turned out i had 2 versions of python on my laptop

both commands worked for me

python -m ensurepip
py -m ensurepip

both with another installation path

c:\tools\python\lib\site-packages
c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio\shared\python36_64\lib\site-packages 

only the first path was in my %PATH% variable

After running get_pip.py with python embed you have to modify your pythonXX._pth file. Add Lib\site-packages, to get something like this:

pythonXX.zip
.
Lib\site-packages
# Uncomment to run site.main() automatically
#import site

If you don't you will get this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip'

or

python-3.8.2-embed-amd64\python.exe: No module named pip

? pip
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main
  File "runpy.py", line 86, in _run_code
  File "python-3.8.2-embed-amd64\Scripts\pip.exe\__main__.py", line 4, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip'

? python -m pip
python-3.8.2-embed-amd64\python.exe: No module named pip

I'v solved this error by setting the correct path variables

    C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts
    C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Lib\site-packages

This issue occurs with me while I was trying to upgrade pip version. It was resolved with the following commands:

python -m ensurepip

The above command restores the pip and below mentioned upgrades it.

python -m pip install --upgrade pip 

I've solved this error downloading the executable file for python 3.7. I've had downloaded the embeddeable version and got that error. Now it works! :D

Follow steps given in https://michlstechblog.info/blog/python-install-python-with-pip-on-windows-by-the-embeddable-zip-file/. Replace x with version number of Python.

1. Open the pythonxx.__pth file, located in your python folder.
2. Edit the contents (e.g. D:\Pythonx.x.x to the following):

 D:\Pythonx.x.x 
 D:\Pythonx.x.x\DLLs
 D:\Pythonx.x.x\lib
 D:\Pythonx.x.x\lib\plat-win 
 D:\Pythonx.x.x\lib\site-packages

If you wrote

pip install --upgrade pip

and you got

Installing collected packages: pip
  Attempting uninstall: pip
    Found existing installation: pip 20.2.1
    Uninstalling pip-20.2.1:
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError...

then you have uninstalled pip instead install pip. This could be the reason of your problem.

The Gorodeckij Dimitrij's answer works for me.

python -m ensurepip

The ensurepip module was added in version 3.4 and then backported to 2.7.9.

So make sure your Python version is at least 2.7.9 if using Python 2, and at least 3.4 if using Python 3.
