Pip: ImportError: Entry point ('console_scripts', 'pip') not found

I was facing almost same error and having python2.7 installed on my mac. I tried sudo python2.7 -m pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall pip and it worked for me. If you have python3 installed then you can try sudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall pip Hope it will work.

I remove setuptools 0.9.4 and do 'pip install --upgrade setuptools' and work good.

you may check the /usr/bin/pip file, if it links to pip2, then change the first line of pip2 from '/usr/bin/python' to '/usr/bin/python2.7' or '/usr/bin/python2.x' matching pip2. If it links to pip3, then change to python3 or the version python3.x matching pip3.

It works for me because I have installed python 2.7 and 3 so and pip. So when I use 'pip' it using python3 as default, which resulting in the same output.

sudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall pip
may do the trick. Try it
