or

sudo apt install awscli

Typically error messages when pip is broken.
So should fix pip and no try to install missing packages it point to.
Also as info you are using Python that comes with Ubuntu as it point to dist-packages,
if had compile Python version yourself or other solution like eg pyenv it would have use site-packages directory.

Internal solution ensurepip don't talk to internet.

sudo python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade  

Using get-pip.py this will get a new version of pip,setuptools, and wheel.

curl -sS https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python3

Or

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

unfortunately, the version of awscli in the Ubuntu repository is too old and lacks some new features i need. AWS keeps the version in PYPI up to date.

Output:

?
Am I the only one who can read the console output?

i didn't want to keep picking new package names and trying each. i just want to remove pip and install it. it should then bring in all its dependencies. maybe Ubuntu repackaged it wrong.

now i learn the difference between dist-packages and site-packages. i have been trying to make a script to put my modules into the system-wide location, and this difference has kept me confused.

now what:

Output:

    from pip._vendor.progress import HIDE_CURSOR, SHOW_CURSOR
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip._vendor.progress'

i just did a purge and re-install of pip. anyone know why the Ubuntu pip package is not bring in all of its dependencies?

Read the comments at the top of this file, this may help

Output:
less /lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/__init__.py

This may be the answer

i gave up on this and will try to download it from github. looks like one of the links was a big binary file that began with "#!/usr/bin/env python3.

If pip3 is not present in an (Ubuntu) distribution, it is installed normally with the command

sudo apt install python3-pip

This will also install all dependencies.
