Cannot use Easy_install to Install Pip - python

Having problems installing pip and other environment things for OSX. Going through different guides on SE (including these link, link), and everyone's solution seems to be to uninstall pip, and then install with easy_install. Problem is, easy_install gives this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/opt/python/libexec/bin/easy_install", line 11, in <module>

distutils.core.Command = setuptools.Command
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Command'
What's my next step? I'm trying to uninstall pip and reinstall it because pip itself was giving this same error.

Not being able to install pip in WSL

I recently installed python3 and I had tons of problems so decided to delete my wsl and reinstall everything since I didn't have important stuff there.
I installed python 3.10 and apparently pip but when I try to use pip to install something or just to use list I'm getting this:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm not really sure how to fix it. I've tried a few things already

Error Installing "psycopg2" python module for creating connection to PostgreSQL via Python 2.7 on macOS

also tried installing psycopg2-binary as well but same error (not sure what am I missing here, new to PostgreSQL and PyCharm)
pip install psycopg2
pip install psycopg2-binary

first of all run easy_install --upgrade pip command to upgrade your pip.
then type and run this
from pip._internal import main
main(['install', 'psycopg2'])
After that run this
main(['install', 'psycopg2-binary'])

Pip error -> ImportError: No module named helpers

When I'm trying to install any package using pip it gives an error. It shows "ImportError: No module named helpers". I tried installing the helpers module using pip but the same error occurred. I'm pasting the output of the error message. Operating System: Arch Linux.

Thanks for everyone's help. I found out the solution. When I upgraded to python 3.7 pip was broken.
Executing these commands solved the issue.
rm -rf /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages
python3.7 -m ensurepip
pip install --upgrade pip
Same can be used with Python2 as well, just replacing 3.7 with 2.7 and pip with pip2.

Archlinux:pip: ImportError: cannot import name 'requests'

Some of my python packages installed with pip had conflicts with another package I tried installing using pacman. So I decided to uninstall all the packages installed with pip. I made a requirements.txt file with all the packages and started uninstalling them. It worked fine for a while but eventually gave this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

from pip._vendor import html5lib, requests, six
ImportError: cannot import name 'requests'
I got a similar error everytime I tried running pip after that.

Install problems with homebrew's python

Setting up a new mac here. I just installed python with brew install python, but when I try to install virtualenv with sudo pip install virtualenv it returns sudo: pip: command not found.
When I try sudo easy_install pip it returns the following response
Traceback (most recent call last):

I can't imagine what is happening, but with my old installation I had any of this problems. Any help woul be really helpful…
I update this question to post a possible solution:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python
