So after installing something using pip3, I got the following error:



You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 19.0.3 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.


Easy enough, so I run:



pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip install --upgrade pip


Now, when ever i run pip or pip3 I get the following error:



Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pip", line 9, in <module>
from pip import main
ImportError: cannot import name main


Any help would be greatly appreciated!



VERSION="16.04.5 LTS (Xenial Xerus)"

  • fyi: you need to upgrade your system (16.04.6 came out Feb-28, so you haven't fully-upgraded your system since at least then). Upgrading some python packages this way can cause problems when you next do-release-upgrade, so remember to keep notes of what you upgrade outside of default packages, so you can remove it prior to next release-upgrade.

This is a known issue in debian and its derivatives. So, it's better to stick to earlier versions of pip. To rollback, run:



sudo python3 -m pip uninstall pip && sudo apt install python3-pip --reinstall
sudo python -m pip uninstall pip && sudo apt install python-pip --reinstall
