I am trying to install a few packages in Python. For example trying to install quantmod but was told to upgrade my pip which I did through Anaconda prompt but when I go to try and install quantmod again I get the same error message. This happens with all packages I am trying to install...
I am running pip install quantmod and to upgrade pip this python -m pip install --upgrade pip

I'm on Python 3.6 and trying to use py -m pip install discord.py to install the discord package to write a discord bot. However, that command works most of the way until it says Rolling back uninstall of pip and then it crashes like so:

Oddly enough, trying to just run pip in the command prompt it gives me 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I've tried uninstalling with py -m pip uninstall pip setuptools and reinstalling by running py get-pip.py on the python file, none of which seem to do anything.
So I have no way of uninstalling, reinstalling, or upgrading pip, and I can't use the current version of pip to install anything. I've searched for hours and tried changing my PATH variable and looking at file path limits, but I'm completly stuck and very new to this type of thing. I'm on Windows 10.
EDIT: "pip", "pip3", "python" and "python3" commands don't work. "py" command works.
EDIT: I seem to have gotten around using pip this time. I downloaded the discord package from github then followed instructions here which say to run py setup.py install --user. Still, I'd like to be able to use pip in the future.

There are couple solutions. You can reinstall python and during installation add it to environmental variable. Another way would be adding scripts and python to environmental path. http://www.correlatedsolutions.com/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/85/1/running-python-scripts-from-anywhere-under-windows.

Found the answer here: Python: pip tries to install to /bin directory
I had a .pydistutils.cfg file in my home directory that was a workaround for something else (I forget what) and once removed it solved all my pip problems.

pip install permission error

I just recently re-installed Python 2 and Python 3 via homebrew and everything looked ok. However I updated pip3 as well as pip after installing python and then, when trying to install virtualenv, I get the below errors:

pip freeze then seems to think virtualenv is installed but none of it's commands work.
Interestingly if I try to uninstall virtualenv it seems to have it attached to the Python 3 installed by brew installed of the Python 2 version brew installed.

pip freeze gives me:

pbr==1.6.0
virtualenv==13.1.2
virtualenv-clone==0.2.6
wheel==0.24.0
so virtualenv already installed but doesn't work for some reason.

For python 2.7 I believe pip is referenced by pip2. Your permission error is easily fixed by running the command as sudo.
