Me too. And I don't know why. Then I use easy_setup to install pip.

DiddiLeija · 2021-08-25T00:18:27Z

Does python -m pip install --upgrade pip work on your case?

@DiddiLeija sorry for delay.

python -m pip install --upgrade pip works on windows
pip install --upgrade pip kills evrything

Doc is good
comment when upgrade is necessary is good too

I should read manual
I think this issue can be closed

DiddiLeija · 2021-09-06T13:25:12Z

As you can see, using python -m pip install --upgrade pip works fine , when pip install --upgrade pip (the pip executable) fails. On Windows, it is better to use the python -m pip command.

Also, can you try pip install --user --upgrade pip? I would like to know if this works.

LaurentBerger · 2021-09-06T20:25:29Z

Hmm, interesting.

This is not related, but I would like to know where does - and -ip came from, based on this warnings:

DiddiLeija · 2021-09-07T01:06:23Z

Another side note: What is F:/? Is it a separate disk drive? Because I think it could be closely related to your problem.

pfmoore · 2021-09-07T07:00:28Z

-ip almost certainly comes from a -ip.dist-info directory in site-packages, which is caused when a pip install fails (we rename the dist-info file to have the first character replaced by - before deleting it, to make the creation of the dist-info directory atomic). You can likely remove that directory.

The - distribution is probably similar, coming from a package with a single-character name.

LaurentBerger · 2021-09-07T08:51:07Z

@DiddiLeija
f:\ is a disk drive

About -ip I delete many files in site package folder :

DiddiLeija · 2021-09-07T17:18:15Z

Hmm... how did you installed Python? Or did you build Python from source on F:/?

LaurentBerger · 2021-09-09T15:52:04Z

I installed python using exe file from python.org

DiddiLeija · 2021-09-09T22:41:01Z

Did you use custom options during installation (I mean, on the Python installation GUI)?

baterflyrity · 2021-09-10T08:33:26Z

Hi there. Here is a fix at #10454.

Another quick fix is to run the command in administrator shell/user that have write access to f:\program files\python\scripts\ as stated in the error message.
