I have earlier used pip to install cryptography and pygame. I am using VSCODE. I have no idea what has happened, because when I tried to install pyinstaller (pip install pyinstaller) I get a whole lot of file errors (posted under). When I just write pip these also return. What could be wrong and what could be the solution to get pip working again?

Thanks in advance!

I have struggled to find any answers online on people having the same problem. Tried running programs as administrator, restarting computer

  • `cannot import name 'Mapping' from 'collections'` suggests that this code you're attempting to use is meant for Python 2, not 3, but you're attempting to use it with a Python 3 interpreter. – Carcigenicate Jan 08 '23 at 15:21
  • @Carcigenicate The only thing I am trying to do is use the pip install in the terminal, not using any specific project/code. And pip has worked earlier. – KristianGolin Jan 08 '23 at 15:23
  • If its any consolation, that's just one import error with a large stack trace. You may have luck getting rid of the cache `pip cache purge`. Or seeing if `pip3` works. – tdelaney Jan 08 '23 at 15:52
