python3-pip installed but pip3 command not found?

One of three things will likely fix it:

In case python3-pip did not install correctly, re-install it:

This is used for Debian-based distros like Ubuntu, Mint:
```
sudo apt-get remove python3-pip; sudo apt-get install python3-pip
```
If using Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, please use:
```
sudo dnf reinstall python3-pip
```
Try using the command python3-pip instead (works on Fedora; I don't have a copy of Kubuntu to try it on).
Just a wild guess...check pip --version. There is a slight possibility that after installing python3-pip the new pip would replace the old pip (perhaps via alternatives?)

EDIT
Now that the output of dpkg -L python3-pip has been added to the question, I can provide the answer.

The correct command name to use is: pip-3.2.

I ran into this problem and found the solution. The python3-pip package installed a pip-3.2 binary.

Executing pip-3.2 --version shows:

pip 1.1 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (python 3.2)

Whereas python3-pip gives the command not found message.

I tested it on a "clean" download from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/rpiqemuwindows/

I checked for pip-3.2 before installing python3-pip and then after.
