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 python3 and my pip version is 10 0 0  The file in question is setup py and the code that is messing up is when the pip main   attribute is accessed to install a package   Now  I know this build should succeed because its an open source project  but I have been trying for hours to fix the dependency issue regarding pip main     Any help would be greatly appreciated

First run  import pip pip   version     If the result is  10 0 0   then it means that you installed pip successfully  since pip 10 0 0 doesn t support pip main   any more  you may find this helpful  https   pip pypa io en latest user guide  using-pip-from-your-program  Use something like  import subprocess subprocess check call   python    -m    pip    install    pkg      install pkg subprocess check call   python    -m    pip    install   --upgrade    pkg      upgrade pkg     Edit  pip 10 0 1 still doesn t support main  You can choose to DOWNGRADE your pip version via following command   python -m pip install --upgrade pip  9 0 3

For me this issue occured when I was running python while within my site-packages folder  If I ran it anywhere else  it was no longer an issue

It appears that pip did a refactor and moved main to internal  There is a comprehensive discussion about it here  https   github com pypa pip issues 5240   A workaround for me was to change  import pip pip main        to  from pip  internal import main main        I recommend reading through the discussion  I m not sure this is the best approach  but it worked for my purposes

Pip 10 0   doesn t support main   You have to downgrade to pip 9 0 3

If python -m pip install --upgrade pip  9 0 3 doesn t work  and you re using Windows    Navigate to this directory and move the pip folders elsewhere        Close your IDE if you have it open  Press  Repair  on Python 3       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

To verify whether is your pip installation problem  try using easy install to install an earlier version of pip   easy install pip  9 0 1   If this succeed  pip should be working now  Then you can go ahead to install any other version of pip you want with   pip install pip  10       Or you can just stay with version 9 0 1  as your project requires version    9 0   Try building your project again

My solution is to check the version number of pip and use the import the correct main function correctly      import pip      if int pip   version   split      0   gt 9          from pip  internal import main     else          from pip import main     def install package           main   install   package
