There is a version of pip installed for a version of python which isn't
installed. That's definitely not useful, so it should be cleaned up.
As to how to do that:
Find out which package /usr/bin/pip belongs to and deinstall or upgrade
this package. How to find that package is a Slackware question, not a
Python question. And since Rich wrote that he's been comfortably using
Slackware for 20 years, I'll trust that he knows how to do that and just
needed a little nudge into the right direction.
