try:
python -m pip install -U --force-reinstall pipinside your venv@fingerman Thanks
works
@fingerman Thanks. That worked instantly.
python -m pip install -U --force-reinstall pipPyCharm installs pip as an egg (see
C:\projects\nltk-tutorial\venv\lib\site-packages\pip-10.0.1-py3.7.eggin the traceback above) and egg installations are not supported by pip (we can’t upgrade egg-layout installs).You need to raise this with JetBrains, or create your environments manually. I believe there’s an existing issue about this on the PyCharm tracker (I raised one a couple of years ago, but haven’t heard anything about it since - I stopped tracking it when I gave up using PyCharm because this issue was too much of a problem for me).
easy_install -U pipworked for me. Was having the issue for 19.0.1You might need the easy install, as it worked for me when upgrading my Pip easy_install -U pip Check this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52460484/python-3-5-pip-9-attributeerror-nonetype-object-has-no-attribute-bytes
easy_install -U pip The command above is good!
ok, I just encounter the same issue but I have some basic info about this,
the old pip is actually inside my
--user, soC:\Python37\python.exe -m pip install --user --force-reinstall -U pipworks in my case if I didn’t instruct with--userthe failure will occurmanual remove old version of pip in my user install directory also works,
I had the same but MichealAbaho from the above comment with the
easy_install -U pipcommand fixed the issue for me.“python -m pip install -U --force-reinstall pip” didn’t work but “easy_install -U pip” does the trick for me. Thanks a lot.
Same for me.
python -m pip install -U --force-reinstall pipdidn’t fix the problem whereeasy_install -U pipdid. Also on 19.0.1.@fingerman having the same issue on pip 19.0.1, any other fix? Thanks
@fingerman having same error for force install. Please help.
easy_install -U pipworked for me. thank you!@sapien47 https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5820#issuecomment-473693608
This shows where python is looking for python files. It can be useful when you try to troubleshoot python import errors
Nothing worked for me, I eventually installed a coexisting version of Python (3.7), and pip could be upgrdaed for that version.
I am having a similar problem (at least, the traceback is similar). I am using a fresh conda environment (most packages from conda-forge), pip 18.1, python 3.6, and linux. The force-reinstall command given does not solve my issue. I am utilizing the new PEP508 syntax for installing private packages from our internal gitlab server (anonymized below). I added some print statements that I hope will be helpful:
