Issues with pip following the installation of Python 3.13 on Ubuntu
07:36 15 Nov 2024

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS (Focal Fossa).

This computer originally had Python 3.8 installed. However, I needed to use Python 3.13. To achieve this, I added the Deadsnakes PPA and installed Python 3.13. I then removed Python 3.8 and installed pip.

Now, I'm unable to use pip. When I try to, I receive the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pip", line 6, in from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 57, in from pkg_resources.extern import six ImportError: cannot import name 'six' from 'pkg_resources.extern' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkg_resources/extern/init.py)

Is there is a way to solve this?

I added the Deadsnakes PPA and installed Python 3.13. I then removed Python 3.8 and installed pip.

python python-3.x ubuntu pip python-3.13
