pip3 in ubuntu 14.04 alongside pip for 2.7

Question

I'd like to install pip3 for my python3 environment, but am finding it is not recognized by system, despite being installed.

$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
python3-pip is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not upgraded.

OK, so it should be installed:

$ pip3
The program 'pip3' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip

But, but, I just did that!

Here are my pythons:

$ python -V
Python 2.7.6

$ python3 -V
Python 3.4.3

What's happening? Can't tell whether this is a pip or apt-get issue. My .bashrc and similar are also clean of anything that would be aliasing pip3 in an unusual way.

Try just closing and reopening terminal then check it again. — Jhorra, Feb 18 '17 at 06:35
Try the manual way from this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6587507/how-to-install-pip-with-python-3 — Jhorra, Feb 18 '17 at 06:44
Minimum diagnostic that is needed: `which python python3 pip pip3`. You can also try this other method to use pip3: `python3 -m pip`. — Pierre de Buyl, Sep 18 '17 at 08:53

Make sure that pip3 is found in one of the directories that are specified in $PATH. On my machine:

$ which pip3 /usr/bin/pip3
