pip update fails

[Hylton]

Hello,

 �

When I tried to install a package using pip, it informed me that there is a new version available.

 �

Per the recommendation, I tried to update pip, but the update failed.

 �

The following is the last few lines of the failure messages:

Vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

 �

  File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python38\site-packages\pip\_vendor\distlib\scripts.py", line 386, in _get_launcher

    raise ValueError(msg)

ValueError: Unable to find resource t64.exe in package pip._vendor.distlib

WARNING: You are using pip version 20.2.2; however, version 20.2.3 is available.

You should consider upgrading via the 'C:\Program Files\Python38\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

 �

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 �

I can of course supply the full error traceback, if needed, not just these last few lines.

 �

The file:

c:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python38\site-packages\pip\_vendor\distlib\t64.exe

DOES exist.

 �

I just installed the latest python version 3.8.6 – I would have thought it would already include the latest version of pip…

 �

Any help resolving this failure will be much appreciated.

 �

Thanks,

Hylton
