/usr/local/bin/python: No module named pip

Question

I installed pip, but if I try to install a package with

python -m pip install requests

it says

/usr/local/bin/python: No module named pip

How can I figure out where the problem is?

The problem is not with pip, but that the modules are not installed in the right way, so I can’t use them in Python. I am using Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet).

Answer 1

My situation is that the Python 3 works fine, but pip 3 does not work (the default Python version is Python 2.7, but it doesn't matter).

I solve this problem by the following command:

apt-get purge python3-pip
apt-get install -y python3-pip

And if you are not the root user, you may need to add sudo in the beginning of the command.
