I am using the command python -m pip install on the python34 folder but its giving me the following error:

Error while finding specs for 'pip._main_'{<class attribute error'>: 'module' object has no attribute'wraps'): 'pip' is a package and cannot be directly executed.

I have seen similar questions posted and I have also tried command prompt from scripts folder inside python34 folder and used the command "pip install" which seemed to work for others but I am still seeing the same error.

  • fwiw, python3.4 is end of lifed, it's possible you're using a too-new version of pip for python3.4 and getting an error because of that? – anthony sottile Aug 01 '20 at 02:03
  • Thanks for your response. I originally had pip 7.1, with pip update it would go to the latest version of pip that's 20.0 which isn't supported by Python 3.4. This further wouldn't accept any other command, not even downgrading pip and would ask for Python 3.5 or above for executing any command. I reinstalled Python and choose pip 19.1.1 and it worked. – Python_Beginner Aug 06 '20 at 02:01

I would suggest uninstalling then re-downloading python with pip pre-installed https://www.python.org/downloads/[dowload python 3.8.5]

I am not sure what's the problem, so try all of the below until one works.

  1. The command python and pip is for Python 2. Try python3 and pip3.

    python3 -m pip3 install

  2. Upgrade pip with python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade pip==9.0.3. This is based on the post here

you can even try python get-pip.py this worked for me

if it worked for in the scripts folder

try adding you scripts folder to local environment variables
