You should run pip through the way you invoke Python itself. If you execute a Python program via py myfile.py, you should try py -m pip. If you use python myfile.py, then try python -m pip. This will ensure you're executing the right pip. Otherwise,
you will probably be better served by reaching out to peers or help forums, such as Python Discuss help category, /r/learnpython on reddit, Python Discord's #python-help channel, #python on Libera.chat (IRC), python-list or python-tutor mailing lists, or StackOverflow.

If that fails, then you can try python -m ensurepip to bootstrap a pip and then try to use pip again: python -m pip.

Anyway, I'll be closing this as it's been three weeks without follow-up.
