"pip" error message

[Simone Bravin]

Hi all,

First of all thanks to all that answered my question.

I had already changed the PATH and tried to upgrade pip version but it 
was not possible to reach pip in any way,
the error that I was getting looked like regarding some program file of pip.

Anyway after some trying I was able to fix the problem.

I found that I had downloaded Python from what I would call "automatic 
check version link" and that downloaded the 32-bit version, but my 
notebook have 64-bit, so I changed the version to the 64-bit one.

Pip was reachable but I was getting a problem with it again anyway was 
an easiest fix as I had to take off the -32 from \Python38-32\ in PATH 
variables, like this: 
C:\Users\simon\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Scripts

Bye
