You are using pip version 7.1.2, however version 21.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

C:\Users\HP>

I have installed packages before, and can't figure this out. Some might say this question has been answered here Why i Can't install Levenshtein package on Windows Python 3.8.1? but while in that case the output is telling to install Visual Studio C++ 14.0, in my case it doesn't.

And the package link I provided says it's a C module, not C++. Idk, maybe unlike python 3.5 (the version I am using), Visual Studio C++ 14.0 is needed by python 3.8 to install packages. Even if they are C not C++.

Please help me understand these kind of issues, so I don't get stuck in the future.

  • "You are using pip version 7.1.2, however version 21.0.1 is available. You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command." Did you try it ? – LCMa Apr 02 '21 at 10:05
  • yes and a whole other long output of errors comes. Should I post it? – Muhammad Usman Apr 02 '21 at 10:07
  • I have also tried, as suggested in some places pip install --upgrade setuptools. Similar result. A very long complicated output, all about errors – Muhammad Usman Apr 02 '21 at 10:10
  • That's weird you get errors on upgrading pip. Can you post the error it raises ? – LCMa Apr 02 '21 at 10:13
  • You are using a version of Windows and a version of Python that are both out of support, so I'm afraid problems are to be expected. `pip` no longer supports Python 3.5 (it uses Python syntax introduced in Python 3.6), so upgrading that won't work. If you are able to upgrade to a later version of Python, you may have more luck, but of course, later versions of Python may not support Windows 7. – Luke Woodward Apr 02 '21 at 12:06
