Terminal can't find version of python despite it being installed

I'm trying to install packages on multiple versions of Python. I'm currently running 3.8.8, and 3.11.0.
Following this post Install a module using pip for specific python version
called
python3.11 -m pip install pandas
which results in
File "<stdin>", line 1 python3.11 -m pip install pandas SyntaxError: invalid syntax
This seems to indicate an issue with python, so I double checked that python3.11 is installed.
the python3.11 works in isolation seems to work.
I don't understand why the install command isn't working.

If you’re using Linux try just
python3 —-version
In Windows you may need to add path to folder with installed Python to PATH variable.

Check your environment variables, you could try removing the variables pointing to the 3.8 version until you get the packages you want installed.
You could also try navigating to that python 3.11 installation directly, and executing the python shell from there, then run the command.

Getting error while saving python file: There is no Pip installer available in the selected environment

I'm getting an error "There is no Pip installer available in the selected environment." when saving python files in Visual Studio Code. I have pip3 installed, and it's available from the terminal. I have selected the python interpreter in the VS Code. I also tried manually installing autopep8 with pip3 in the project directory. But the error still occurs. Unfortunately, these are the only solutions I was able to find on the internet, but none of them worked. I use Lenovo's Chromebook, which is Debian-based. Does anyone have any clue how to solve the issue?
Selected interpreter:

You obviously have installed multiple Python environments on your system. The one in /usr/bin is usually the one installed by your system's package manager (apt on Debian) and most probably the default one that is used if you just call the python commands without absolute path from your shell. You can verify that by calling:
which python3
which pip3
I assume that both binaries are used from /usr/bin/.
Your Python installation selected in VS code is located in /usr/local/bin, which probably has been installed from a different origin (maybe you have compiled Python from source?). If VS code complains that no pip has been found in your selected environment, probably /usr/local/bin/pip3 does not exist for some reason. You can verify that by calling:
ls /usr/local/bin/pip3
Easiest solution to this would be to select the /usr/bin/python3 environment in VS code.
If you really need the Python version from /usr/local/bin, find out where this installation came from and complete it in order to have pip3 there as well.
The most sustainable solution, however, would be to use a virtual environment. This would make your Python version system-independent and you have full control over the packages in there.

I think you should check in your terminal "pip3 freeze" command, if it shows some list , then pip is working, otherwise you should check the environment variable in your system for pip3.

Python 3.9 pip install

I recently downloaded and installed Python 3.9 because I wanted to run a website scraper to more easily organize recipes found online. However, when I try to run pip it says it doesn't recognize it (and I have tried editing the path but every video or site I find has different information).
Even a basic check of my Python version comes back with no results:
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Python 3.9 but to no avail. There is also no scripts file within my python file and my computer doesn't even seem to recognise that Python is installed.

In python 3.9 you can add below path(scripts path) to your environment variable
C:\Users\ASUS\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts
Once the path is added, open a fresh CMD window and type pip --version.
You can see your pip version pip 20.2.4

I found that for Python 3.9 if you enter the command as py -m pip install, the installation initiates as expected.

I finally can use pip install.
Here is how I do it:
Run python 3.6.9-adm64.exe
Choose Modify
Tick all boxes and click Next
Tick [Create shortcuts...appplication](not important) and Add Python to environment variables and click Install
Now run CMD and type:
py -m pip install (name) //pygame for example
Now I installed pygame easily.

I have fixed this issue by running apt-get install python3-pip
on my Debian Linux.

every video or site I find has different information
This may be due to the fact that those sites provide information for different Python versions.
As Alfie Hanks already pointed out in the comments: The right way to do it is to check the box Add Python 3.x to PATH when installing Python 3 for the first time. When re-running the installer / re-installing choose "Modify" and check the box Add Python to environment variables. That takes care of setting the correct environment variable so that the Python and pip binary can be found by Windows.
If you have trouble finding those options, take a look at circlepi314's answer to a similar Python question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54029728/6710751 This one has screenshots of the installer where those options are marked.

Install python again and when the prompt window opens, click on the modify button. Then check if pip is checked. If not then check it and then proceed with the install.enter image description here
If it still doesn't work, simply uninstall python. And then when you reinstall it make sure that the ADD to path checkbox is checked.

I had the similar problem, I managed to solve it with the following:
I installed python 3.9 by Brew on my Mac, so the pip3 was broken
I resolved by uninstalling python3.9 and installing 3.8

Pip not installing at all

I am using VS code and I have been trying for two hours now. Technically I should have Pip preinstalled as I'm using 3.8.2, although when I tried downloading and installing it (from https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py) nothing is there and nothing will come up when i type pip help/pip --version in cmd and when i do any pip install . It's not installing. Any help?

Based on my research you might one of these useful:
PIP installation is not added to the system variable – In order to be able to run Python commands from a CMD window, you will need to add the path of your PiP installation to your PATH in the system variable. If you installed Python using the installation executable, it should be added automatically.
The installation is incorrectly added in your PATH – It’s easy to mess up the PATH if you add it manually. Additional space or the missing of a semicolon before the new PATH will end up producing the error.

I'm a beginner, but I would suggest uninstalling python completely, and installing it again.

pip/easy_install failure: failed to create process

After following this article: How do I install pip on Windows? on my Windows system using Enthought Canopy 64 Bit system, I cannot get pip or easy_install to work due to error:
pip install requests
failed to create process
I tried re-installing setuptools, running cmd prompt as admin without any effect.

When I encountered this, it was because I'd manually renamed the directory python was in. This meant that both setuptools and pip had to be reinstalled. Or, I had to manually rename the python directory to what it had been previously.

It will help after changing the PATH to python in environment variables:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip --force-reinstall

Just ran into this. Sort of. Pip worked for me, but after installing pytest-watch, running the ptw script was giving this error.
For some reason, pip stopped quoting the #! in ptw-script.py:
#!C:\Program Files (x86)\Python\python.exe
It worked after I added quotes manually:
#!"C:\Program Files (x86)\Python\python.exe"
I don't really know why this suddenly started happening. Adding this here in case anyone else coming here from Google runs into the same thing.
Here's a related pip issue (I think).

If you intentionally want to rename the folder where python.exe resides, you should also modify all python files in the Scripts folder. So a third solution would be to modify the python files as well: the first line in pip-2.7-script.py originally contain:
#!C:\OriginalPythonDir\python.exe
Modifying this path to the new Python folder fixes the problem.
(P.S. Unfortunately I cannot yet reply to answers, so I'll reply as a new answer because I thought it could be useful for other people as well).

To fix this error (after you change the folder where python is installed) run force-reinstall for pip and pyinstaller, like this:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip --force-reinstall
python -m pip install --upgrade pyinstaller --force-reinstall

I ran into this bug while installing an older version of Python (3.5.2) for compatibility with some aws-adfs scripting. I installed aws-adfs with pip, on Windows 10, and found that while Python is installed to a directory path with spaces in it you will get the failed to create process error.
The pip maintainers say that it was a deeper problem with setuptools and even offered a workaround if you want to patch the installation in place.
But another, easier solution if you're working with older versions of Python is just to reinstall Python to a directory without spaces.

When I came across this problem, I found that my path contained multiple entries for Python. After tidying up my path so that it had an entry for the python installation folder and the scripts folder (in my case C:\Python27 and C:\Python27\Scripts), pip worked properly.

Test this. it's worked correctly for me:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip --force-reinstall

I just use python in the command shell on Windows 7 and had this problem immediately after installing pip. In case the above solutions don't help you, you should check that the folder that pip.exe is installed in (in my case, the Script folder under Python32) is in the Path.

I had installed Anaconda and so I still had C:\Python27 along with C:\Anaconda in my path. When I removed C:\Python27 and all subfolders I was able to use pip again.

Please check out have you ever rename your python.exe
I install python2 and python3 on my PC at the same time , so I rename my python.exe to python3.exe.And when I use pip ,it boom...
After rename it back .It's ok again....

Running command prompt with administrator privileges worked for me.

I had the same problem and none of the above worked for me.
I deleted my venv. And created a new one by specifying the python path:
virtualenv --python C:\Path\To\Python\python.exe venv
.\venv\Scripts\activate
and this worked

Check whether the pip-script points out the exact location of python.exe, because pip always points (C:\python3.3\python.exe). In my system i've installed 2 versions of python i.e python2 & python3. I ve modified the home application of python.exe into python2.exe and python3.exe.
When i installed pip windows installer. it results me out with the error " failed to create process"
