The problem started when I wanted to install pyinstaller using pip and got the error below.
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

I tried googling the error to find a solution and I tried a suggestion of unset $PYTHONPATH and then I tried reinstalling python as a whole using brew and then tried installing pyinstaller again at which point I got the error message below and now get this message when I try installing anything using pip or running any python program. Also I am running MacOS Catalina 10.15.2.
