Python3: No module named pip

Question

When i tried entering the command on terminal (Im using Linux): python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt I get the error: No module named pip

I have already installed pip on Python3 using: apt-get install python3-pip.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

does just `pip` or `pip3` instead of `python3 -m pip` do anything? — Felk, Apr 24 '19 at 18:44
@castis the installer from pypa.io will not necessarily play nicely with Ubuntu packages. — ivan_pozdeev, Apr 24 '19 at 19:02
What's you distro version and package version(s)? This looks like a bug. — ivan_pozdeev, Apr 24 '19 at 19:05
As @Zenville asked, apart from my request, please provide the result of `which python3` and `which pip3`. Your Python may not be the system's stock Python. — ivan_pozdeev, Apr 24 '19 at 19:21

pip3 -V or pip3 --version should return the Python 3 version

Also, make use of pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Yes, but why doesn't `python3 -m pip` work? That should be equivalent to `pip3`. – ivan_pozdeev Apr 24 '19 at 19:03
@ivan_pozdeev kindly output the results of `which pip` and `which pip3`. It could be path related. – Zenville Erasmus Apr 24 '19 at 19:18
I'm not the OP. I just pointed out that this doesn't quite answer the question as asked. – ivan_pozdeev Apr 24 '19 at 19:20
Apologies @ivan_pozdeev. – Zenville Erasmus Apr 24 '19 at 19:26
Kleiton, you can set an alias for pip with the following link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44455001/how-to-change-pip3-command-to-be-pip – Zenville Erasmus Apr 24 '19 at 19:34
I figured out the solution (the only one I guess). I have to manually import all the modules due to the pip bug. – Kleiton Kurti May 12 '19 at 21:34
