This also happens when I try to upgrade pip, install sphinx or basically any install/upgrade option using pip.

StackOverflow has said this is a duplicate, and that there is a solution at ImportError: No module named 'pip._vendor.distlib.scripts' when I try to install fabric by python pip however the recommend solution on this post is not actually a soltuion. It does not solve my issue, nor does it appear to solve the original posters problem.
Try this:
sudo pip install --upgrade --no-use-wheel pip

Somehow I screwed up my install of pip. I can't install anything using pip or even just get the version. When I try getting the version I get the following error:

I found a Stack Overflow post that said I should re-install pip using: python -m pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall pip but when I do that I get:

And of course trying to reinstall python using: brew install python gets me:

So as you can see I am bit stuck. I'm sure it is something simple that I am missing but I can't figure our what it is. Does anyone know how I can get my pip back & working? At this point I might also be interested in nuking my Python 2.7 install & starting again from scratch if that is possible. Thanks in advance.

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.
I tried to install from pip and keep on getting similar type of errors.

Now even though i tried to install different pip modules iam getting same error.Is there any solution for this ? This was caused due to the unexpected killing of the process while a pip module is being downloaded.
Please help me with the necessary steps to rectify this error.

Ubuntu 16.04.3 here:
I think I have fixed this by removing the python-openssl package (and it's dependencies) with:
apt-get --auto-remove remove python-openssl
Then installing the latest version with pip:
pip install pyOpenSSL
Of course, if you install another apt package that depends on it, it'll pull it back in. I hope if you use pip for everything you can from now on instead of apt, it should be fine.
Edit: as of January 2019 this issue doesn't seem to exist any more.
I was able to resolve this by deleting the openssl python lib and reinstalling (purge before install did not work):
$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/OpenSSL/
$ sudo apt install --reinstall python-openssl
If even pip is not working then try following:
sudo easy_install -U cffi
sudo easy_install -U cryptography
It works for me.
To fix it on RHEL/CentOS:
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/OpenSSL/
sudo yum install pyOpenSSL
This did it for me on CentOS 7. Cheers!
I got this error and solved it by doing these steps (don't forget to put your own username):
rm -rf /home/<Your Username>/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/OpenSSL
sudo rm -rf usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/OpenSSL/
pip install pyOpenSSL
Try to do the following:
$ rm -rf /home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/OpenSSL
$ rm -rf /home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyOpenSSL-0.15.1.egg-info
In the last line, you might have another version of pyOpenSSL, specify yours.
Quick Fix
Move the OpenSSL folder to OpenSSLBAK (for instance) to avoid the error
# cd /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
# mv OpenSSL OpenSSLBAK
It should be good
Try reinstalling python of which will fix many of your problems,do
sudo apt-get install --reinstall python2.7
and pip will be missing after reinstalling,do
sudo apt-get install python-pip
Try to download the suitable wheel file from here depending in your operating system and python version. Then add this file to Python/Scripts and use the code below to install it.
pip install nameofwheelfile.whl
The wheel file contains all the dependencies.

cffi.api.CDefError: 'point_conversion_form_t' has no values explicitly defined: refusing to guess which integer type it is meant to be (unsigned/signed, int/long)
googled for several similar problem, cffi or cryptography may cause this problem, but i can't find any clear way to fix it.
Got the exact same error today, but in a different situation. I suspect this is related to cryptography module.
What helped me was to install a specific version of cffi package:
pip install cffi==1.7.0
i removed cffi and tried this command to install cffi 1.7.0:
pip install cffi==1.7.0
it worked, thank you, alecxe and moeseth :)
My situation was like #alecxe
This works:
pip install cffi==1.7.0
Had the same problem as moeseth: the pip install something answers are pretty useless when all pip commands throw the original exception. Installing cffi v. 1.7.0 also solved the problem and this is how I managed to do it in Debian Jessie without relying on pip:
Temporarily add testing repos to /etc/apt/sources.list, e.g.,
deb http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
Run sudo apt-get update
Use aptitude or apt-get to upgrade python-cffi and python-cffi-backend to v. 1.7.0
Remove the lines added in step 1. from /etc/apt/sources.list and run sudo apt-get update
So I was in a situation where pip was failing. I had to remove python-cffi and then install it from pip with a correct version
sudo apt-get remove python-cffi
pip install cffi==1.7.0
Works like a charm.
It is a tough situation I am dealing with. Here is short version of my problem:
I am working on Ubuntu 12.04
I would like to install Python 3.5.x with openCV library. I would also like to use pip3 for managing package installation of python.
Here is how the version of my pythons looks like
$ python --version
Python 2.7.3
$ python3 --version
Python 3.5.2
So far it looks I have achieved my goal.
When I use virtualenv to manage python3 libraries:
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 py3env
source py3env/bin/activate
I see the version of my python as follows:
(py3env)yxxxxa#yxxxxa-Precision-M4800:~$ python3 --version
Python 3.2.3
I seems there is another version of python in my machine 3.2.3 messing up with the version 3.5.2 that I have installed. This is my first problem.
The second related problem is that I am unable to install pip 3. There is this error I receive due to the same python version conflict:
$ pip

What are your expert opinions about the stated problem? Any cool idea to handle this? Thanks alot in advance
This solved my first problem. Now the second problem aslo remains, how
can I install pip3 under python 3.5.2 (preferably using viretualenv) ?
Here is answer:
python3 -m virtualenv py3env
source py3env/bin/activate
Python 3.5 should have pip by default, also after above commands You can use pip:)
For example :
python -m pip install requests
EDIT:
Here You could find very good explainations if You still need install pip after create virtualenv.
