Pip broken in my project

@glitch_support
Good evening! My name is Polina! I am writing to you with a request to help! I was working with third-party libraries for my project for the first time and I encountered a problem in the program itself, as I realized recently. The site doesn’t want to push the code further and returns the same error:
$ pip3
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/local/bin/pip3”, line 7, in
from pip._internal.cli.main import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘pip._internal’ ,
so I definitely need your help as soon as possible! looking forward to your answer and thank you!

Hello again! Unfortunately, it still does not work(( Could you please tell me how can I fix it?

@glitch_support

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python3 get-pip.py --force-reinstall

would this work?

see https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5599

Unfortunately I’m having the exact same seemingly similar error, and that doesn’t seem to resolve it. I’ll keep investigating.

Ah - I think I’ve resolved it, here.

In the terminal, I needed to nuke the virtual environment. pipenv --rm did not work, but after running rm -rf .data (where the venv was built previously), and having force reinstalled pip before that, the environment was rebuilt and things are working again.
