Question

i tried to use this command in cmd to install module certifi:

pip install certifi

But it throws some warning like this:

WARNING: Ignoring invalid distribution -ip (c:\python39\lib\site-packages)

How can i fix it and install certifi ? (Python 3.9.6 )

Manually delete the following folder:

c:\python39\lib\site-packages\ip

And every file that starts with ~ and try again
