The official Ubuntu documentation can be found here.

Ubuntu – I installed a pip but the terminal is saying I did not download it?

Hello I am relatively new to linux and python. I just downloaded linux and I am using ubuntu 20.04.6 through virtual machine. Here is the overall story of the error.

I exectued the following code successfully: sudo apt install python3-pip, and I was trying to execute pip install flask and pip install flask-ask-sdk, BUT I recieved the following error (for both commands):

Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: module 'lib' has no attribute 'X509_V_FLAG_CB_ISSUER_CHECK'

I wasn’t sure what this error meant and I ran pip --version (and pip3 --version) and this code had the same AttributeError as seen above. What does this error indicate and what do I need to do to solve this?

I really appreciate your time in advance

    From my understanding this looks like an error in pyOpenSSL. There is a similar error posted here with a solution: pip throws "TypeError: deprecated() " error

    Ubuntu also does not ship new versions of most software in their repos (done for stability purposes) and will not install the latest version of python. If you are looking to do development in python, I recommend you use the deadsnakes ppa to install the latest versions of python via apt.

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install python3.11

    Feel free to change the python version. To change the default python3 executable:

    sudo update-alternatives --config python3

    You should update the path so the terminal knows the pip command. You can do it by opening the ~/.bash_profile file in a text editor and adding export PATH=$HOME/usr/local/bin:$PATHto that script so that the terminal exports the pip path every time you open the terminal.
