Syntax Error after installing python when attempting to use the pip command

Question

I am attempting to install python and Django. I am getting this error every time I attempt to install anything with pip. All I have done right now is

brew install python

Then, I used:

sudo easy_install pip

After when doing the command below I get the sytanx error.

Stefanoss-MBP:javaTutor fetz$ python -m pip install Django
Traceback (most recent call last):

                                   ^

Why are you using python `2.7`? `sys.stderr.write(f"ERROR: {exc}")` is Python 3.6 f-string formatting. — PacketLoss, Feb 25 '21 at 01:13
You seem to have somehow managed to install pip3 on Python 2. Try `python3 -m pip ...` — Selcuk, Feb 25 '21 at 01:17
@PacketLoss I am just typing the commands that I placed above. Not changing anything else I am not sure of what to do. Uninstalling python and reinstalling it doesn't work. I need the latest version of python — Deephousemafia, Feb 25 '21 at 01:18
@Selcuk python3 is for version 3 in general so 3.8 included or just 3.0 — Deephousemafia, Feb 25 '21 at 01:20
Sorry is that a question or a statement? It depends on which version `brew` installed. — Selcuk, Feb 25 '21 at 01:38
