Everytime i use the pip command i get an error stopping me from using pip at all. I am using python 2.7.11.

Error:

C:\Users\cuerv\AppData\Local\Temp\aimbooster.py>pip install pip==20.3.3
Traceback (most recent call last):

  • your error show this piece of code `f"ERROR: {exc}"` that is a f-string and those are python 3.6 features, so you are trying to run a py3 code with py2 – Copperfield Mar 21 '21 at 14:14
  • You are not in fact using 2.7.11 as you expect; you are using 3.5 based on where the executable is installed. However, neither of those supports f-strings. – Karl Knechtel Mar 22 '21 at 00:04

Try >pip -version if nothing showing up go to https://www.activestate.com/resources/quick-reads/how-to-install-pip-on-windows/ .

If still not working try to install new version of python like python 3.8 and it should solve it.
