This is the command I used to install python-pip
sudo apt-get install python-pip
I get the following error

Explain me how to resolve the error and guide me the steps to get python-pip
installed.
One of the most common problems with running Python tools like pip is the “not on PATH” error. This means that Python cannot find the tool you're trying to run in your current directory. In most cases, you'll need to navigate to the directory in which the tool is installed before you can run the command to launch it.
The python-pip package manager works as an independent package manager on Linux distribution. This means you need to install the pip tool separately from python programs. The pip command is not found an error raised on your Linux terminal window if the pip is not installed independently on Ubuntu 20.04 system.
Does Python 3.10 have pip? The current version of pip works on: Windows, Linux and MacOS. CPython 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and latest PyPy3.
The installed version may differ depending on the version of pip you've installed on your Ubuntu system. pip for Python 2 is not included with Ubuntu 20.04. To install pip for Python 2 on Ubuntu 20.04, you will have to use the get-pip script.
got the same error when I install python-pip, the following command solved my problem.
sudo apt-get install python-pkg-resources=3.3-1ubuntu1
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
download pip from https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
Then run the following (which may require administrator access):
python get-pip.py
