can't remove python pip

Question

i've installed both python3 and python it used to work everything perfect but today i encountered several issues with pip

then i tried to uninstall it and install it again i've made

sudo apt-get remove pip
sudo apt-get remove pip3
sudo apt-get purge pip
sudo apt-get purge pip3
sudo apt-get remove python-setuptools
sudo apt-get remove python3-setuptools

and when i write down "pip" at the prompt i still have this error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/pip", line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('pip==9.0.1', 'console_scripts', 'pip')()

what do you suggest? thanks

Answer 1

you need to execute the following command to install pip sudo apt-get install python3-pip

and to remove you need to use sudo apt-get --purge autoremove python3-pip

Answer 2

I had the same problem, but I solved using the command below:

sudo python -m pip uninstall pip
