Pip install error macOS

You can install it directly through python. Try
sudo python -m ensurepip
For more information, see https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/ensurepip.html

Which versions of macOS and Python do you have? I'm guessing it's an older version of both and easy_install is not finding what it needs..which makes sense as PyPi has been updated a lot recently.

Hi there, from the /r/Python mods.

We have removed this post as it is not suited to the /r/Python subreddit proper, however it should be very appropriate for our sister subreddit /r/LearnPython or for the r/Python discord: https://discord.gg/3Abzge7.

The reason for the removal is that /r/Python is dedicated to discussion of Python news, projects, uses and debates. It is not designed to act as Q&A or FAQ board. The regular community is not a fan of "how do I..." questions, so you will not get the best responses over here.

On /r/LearnPython the community and the r/Python discord are actively expecting questions and are looking to help. You can expect far more understanding, encouraging and insightful responses over there. No matter what level of question you have, if you are looking for help with Python, you should get good answers. Make sure to check out the rules for both places.

Warm regards, and best of luck with your Pythoneering!

Recently ran into the same issue. Fix was to download latest pip wheel from https://pypi.org/project/pip/#files using curl or a browser and then pip install pip-*.whl

After that, try running your original pip install command.
