I have the same problem. It seems that there are issues using the pip that comes with MacOS.

Instead of uninstalling, you can install the latest versions of Python packages into your own home directory with the --user flag. See https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/#installing-to-the-user-site

pip install --user
