FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory on _IMPORT_CWD = os.path.abspath(os.getcwd())

Description

I'm not sure what happened, but I couldn't find any issues that mentioned something similar (except for maybe this one?), so I thought I'd share, just in case.

I solved the problem with a complete reinstall of Pip using

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python3 get-pip.py

Feel free to close if silly

Expected behavior

I expected pip3 to work. I could have sworn it worked fine the other day.

pip version

Unknown

Python version

3.9.2

OS

Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye, 32bit, Linux pi 5.10.103-v7+ #1529 SMP armv7l GNU/Linux

How to Reproduce

I do not know, it came out of nowhere.

Output

No response

this is a regression due to the introduction of rich in 22.0.4 -- it should probably be reported to the rich bug tracker as well:

mkdir y
cd y
rm -rf ../y

Ah, of course. :)

I've gone ahead and reported this upstream. We'll pull in the fix for this, in the pip release after this gets fixed + released in Rich.

I'm going to eagerly close this, even though we usually track upstream fixes for issues -- this doesn't seem like something that foundationally affects pip's core functionality except in a weird edge case.

[willmcgugan]

Will be fixed in the next release of Rich.
