unable to run pip

[snippsat]

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
