AttributeError when installing PIP - stevecomp - Sep-16-2020
Hi all,
I'm getting this error when installing pip:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Transport'
I'm on Windows10 using python version 2.7.16 and using get-pip.py (https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py)for the installation.
I'm a bit flumoxed on how to fix this.
Thanks for any advice

First and foremost, why are you using Python 2 at all? It reached end of life at the beginning of the year, so you really should be using version 3.
RE: AttributeError when installing PIP - stevecomp - Sep-16-2020
I work in the VFX industry and alot of the software packages we used have not yet transitioned over to python 3.
So stuck in python 2 for a little while longer
RE: AttributeError when installing PIP - ndc85430 - Sep-16-2020
You shouldn't need to install
pip separately though; it's been included in 2.x since 2.7.9, according to the docs.
RE: AttributeError when installing PIP - stevecomp - Sep-16-2020
Yes, thats something I should have mentioned, I thought it was included but when I tried to use it I got an error message.
here's the results from a version check:
C:\Users\STEVE>python --version
Python 2.7.16
C:\Users\STEVE>pip --version
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
RE: AttributeError when installing PIP - ndc85430 - Sep-16-2020
What about
python -m pip --version as per the docs I linked to above?I'm not a Windows user, so don't know why you don't have
pip as a standalone command.
RE: AttributeError when installing PIP - stevecomp - Sep-16-2020
Im getting this with that command:
C:\Users\STEVE>python -m pip --version
C:\Python27\python.exe: No module named pip
RE: AttributeError when installing PIP - ndc85430 - Sep-16-2020
That's odd. Look at the docs I linked to - there's a section titled "Pip not installed". What happens if you try the solution there?
RE: AttributeError when installing PIP - stevecomp - Sep-16-2020
Had a go at that, and the attribute error rears it's ugly head:
C:\Users\STEVE>python -m ensurepip --default-pip

Thinking I might try and re-instal python

Go to
Scripts folder in cmd and test if it's environment Path problem.When in folder it will use what's in folder and not what set in Windows environment Path.
C:\Users\Tom>cd\ C:\>cd Python27 C:\Python27>cd scripts C:\Python27\Scripts>pip --version pip 18.1 from c:\python27\lib\site-packages\pip (python 2.7) C:\Python27\Scripts>So Script folder is placement of
pip.exe.I do of course not have 2.7 as main version in Path.
If go to any other folder i will use Python 3.8.
C:\Python27\Scripts>cd .. C:\Python27>cd .. C:\>pip --version pip 20.2.3 from c:\python38\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.8) C:\>python --version Python 3.8.3Also if have python 3.8 installed then can use
py(new in Python 3.3 -->),to access all version from Python.org.# Use py C:\>py -2.7 --version Python 2.7.9 # Use pip from py C:\>py -2.7 -m pip install logzero Requirement already satisfied: colorama; sys_platform == "win32" in c:\python27\ lib\site-packages (from logzero) (0.3.2)
