pip remains on the old version after updating

I keep trying to update pip with:
pip install --upgrade pip
It seems to complete fine but when I run pip --version its still running the old version (19.0.3 vs 19.3). I'm using pycharm on Windows 10.
I'm trying to install pandas and I've read the issue I'm getting can be solved by updating pip and setuptools.
I saw some suggestions to delete the pip folder. So I went to Python38/Lib/site-packages and found 3 pip folders. pip, pip-19.0.3-py3.8egg. There was a 19.3 folder I deleted already.
If I delete the 19.0.3 folder I get an error running pip commands saying:

pip3 not installing packages

I enter the following line into terminal:
pip3 install numpy
this gives me:

subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command 'lsb_release -a' returned non-zero exit status 1
Im thinking its a path issue but im not really sure.

This is a bug with the distro package vendored by pip. The bug has been solved but the latest version of pip uses and very old version of distro which doesn't have this bug fix applied.
For now, you can simply try to make the executable available in the path.

Run scrapy under windows 7

I want to create a new scrappy project under win 7. I have installed scrapy over pip and everthing went find.
I am using pip 1.0.1 from c:\python27\lib\site-packages (python 2.7).
I have added the C:\Python27\Scripts as my path variable.
However, when running scrapy in my cmd, I get:

Any recommendation what I am doing wrong?

Django - ResolutionError and DistributionError

I had to uninstall my django==1.6.4 and install 1.5 for a project, but now when I install 1.6.4 with pip and try to start a project with django-admin.py startproject PN I get

Any ideas onwhat to do ?

this is because you should delete all 1.6.4 files and then install 1.6.5.
but now there are also 1.6.4 files in your Linux / windows.
in windows,
you should delete the files in python/lib/site-packages/django
to uninstall the main Django files.
nd then delete Django-VERSION-py2.7.egg or fix the VERSION in
it. not just these.
you have to delete following 4 files:
django-admin.exe, django-admin.py,django-admin.exe.manifest,django-admin-script.py
then you can reinstall the django.
(In fact, if you know the file, you can try to edit it with change the version.)
in Linux, you can do like that.
if there 's something wrong, you can try to delete all.
