a while ago i downloaded pip from https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/ before i realised my version of python allready comes with pip. i succesfully used it to download pygame but now i am trying to download numpy and no matter what i try it returns the error below.
i have tried reinstalling pip and python but nothing changed. i think it has something to do with me accidently downloading pip from the link above and having two versions of pip. and it isn't the one being uninstalled when i uninstall pip, if any of that makes sense. anyway that's just my theory.
this is what happens when i try to install anything
C:\Users\riley>pip install numpy
