No Module named pip when running it

Question

When I use pip3 I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/pip3", line 7, in <module>
    from pip import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip'

I tried to reinstall PIP but still reported this error, but I use python3 -m ensurepip

It told me to install Xcode command line

$ python3 -m ensurepip
$ xcode-select: Failed to locate 'python3.9', requesting installation of command line developer tools.

What are you trying to achieve by importing `pip`? I don't think I've seen anyone do that before — lucidbrot, Jun 09 '22 at 08:08
i want ```pip3 install aiohttp``` ，But it tells me ```Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/pip3", line 7, in from pip import main ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip'``` — futer_dream, Jun 09 '22 at 08:10
Ah, I think I misunderstood. Is this an error that you get when you run pip? in that case, [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/56896098/2550406) looks related and my guess is that you do need to install python first - like the xcode message tells you — lucidbrot, Jun 09 '22 at 08:10
I have been using Python for a long time, but I don't know why this error occurs — futer_dream, Jun 09 '22 at 08:13

I had this problem when I was trying to update the pip and it failed. This always works for me:

Download the script, from https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py.
Open a terminal/command prompt, cd to the folder containing the get-pip.py file and run:

python get-pip.py

font: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/
