Can you tell me how to solve this issue on Windows 11?

Your Python distribution doesn't come with pip preinstalled. Try installing pip using these methods: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/

For example, on Windows, you would run

py -m ensurepip --upgrade

  • If it "didn't come with it", then why is there a Python traceback when `pip` is ran from CMD? Clearly a `pip.exe` or `pip.bat` file exists to execute – OneCricketeer Apr 04 '23 at 17:51
  • @OneCricketeer Perhaps the way I phrased it was wrong, but either way, the pip module is not installed correctly in the Python distribution as evidenced by `No module named 'pip'`. – SimonUnderwood Apr 04 '23 at 17:56
  • I agree, but any Python 3.x installation for versions released in the last 9 years have come with pip – OneCricketeer Apr 04 '23 at 18:01
  • My mistake for phrasing it wrong. – SimonUnderwood Apr 04 '23 at 18:06
  • I run (py -m ensurepip --upgrade) this command and requirement already satisfied but still it can show No module named 'pip' – Aditya Uparkar Apr 04 '23 at 18:13

    @AdityaUparkar try the other options within the link. The few times I've encountered the issue, copying and running `get-pip.py` is the most reliable fix for me. – SimonUnderwood Apr 04 '23 at 18:16
  • @AdityaUparkar Or, you can try to use `pipx` and `poetry` to properly install Python packages in a "virtual environment", which isolates you downloading Python libraries into your OS. https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installing-with-pipx – OneCricketeer Apr 04 '23 at 18:30
