unable to run pip

[Skaperen]

This will also install all dependencies.

it did not do that for me. perhaps a dependency (package) was defective and lacked the module being accessed. or perhaps the module reference was faulty for a depricated module. i tried to determine the package name with the intent to purge that package to let the install of python3-pip bring in the latest and hopefully correct dependency, but i could not determine that.

i'm working on ways to determine Ubuntu package names and dependencies. the intent is to make a command to force re-install of a package's entire dependency tree.

i will download pip by another means and see if that is different.
