How To Solve pip installing is not working in python < 3.6?

Solution 1

Here pip 21.0 dropped support for Python 2 and 3.5. The later versions require Python 3.6+. To install pip for Python 2.7 install it from https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/

- curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py
- python get-pip.py
- python -m pip install --upgrade "pip < 21.0"

The last command is to upgrade to the latest supported version. For Python 2.7 the latest supported is currently pip 20.3.4.

For Python 3.4

- curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/3.4/get-pip.py
- python get-pip.py
- python -m pip install --upgrade "pip < 19.2"

For Python 3.5

- curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/3.5/get-pip.py
- python get-pip.py

Solution 2

firstly run

python -m pip install --upgrade "pip < 19.2"

and then

python -m pip install --upgrade "pip < 21.0".
