pip ImportError: cannot import name 'PackageFinder'

Every time I try to run a pip command, I get this error:

Code: [Select]

I have python3.6 and python3.6-pip installed. Any ideas on how to fix this?

What version and architecture of tinycore are you using and what command are you issuing?

For example, the following works for me:

Code: [Select]

sudo pip3 install mako

I'm using CorePlus.

No pip command has worked for me yet. I've tried pip, pip install, python3.6 -m pip install -U pip and the one that you used as an example, and they've all had the same problem.

Hi CapnDangerPants

What version and architecture of tinycore are you using ...

I'm using CorePlus. ...

What do these 2 commands return:

Code: [Select]

uname -r
version

[CapnDangerPants]

uname -r returns: 6.1.2-tinycore

version returns: 14.0

I figured it out. I uninstalled python3.6 and python3.6-pip and used python3.9 instead and pip3 worked.
