Upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 killed pip

Question

I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 from 19.10 and now I cannot use pip.

zeno:~$ pip --version

Command 'pip' not found, but there are 18 similar ones.

Python is installed:

zeno:~$ python3 --version
Python 3.8.2

but if I try to insatll pip, I get this:

    zeno:~/Desktop/tetris$ sudo apt install python3-pip
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    python3-pip is already the newest version (20.0.2-5ubuntu1).
    The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

I am lost. Thanks for any help

Update

I use venv to create virtual environments. When no venv is activated, I can use pip3:

zeno:~/Desktop/tetris$ pip3 -V
pip 20.0.2 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip (python 3.8)

but if I activate a venv, it does not work:

(.tetris) zeno:~/Desktop/tetris$ pip3
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/zeno/Desktop/tetris/.tetris/bin/pip3", line 6, in <module>
    from pip._internal import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip'

Thank you for your suggestions and continued help.

Update

I tried deleting the venv and making a new one, but it seems I need pip working in order to do that:

zeno:~/Desktop/tetris$ python3 -m venv .tetris

gives:

The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not
available.  On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the python3-venv
package using the following command.

    apt-get install python3-venv

You may need to use sudo with that command.  After installing the python3-venv
package, recreate your virtual environment.

Failing command: ['/home/zeno/Desktop/tetris/.tetris/bin/python3', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']

Answer 1

Sometimes after OS upgrade you need to reinstall packages. Try:

sudo apt install --reinstall python3-pip
