Comment (by bdubbs):
I was able to test this with
sudo python3 -m pip install --force pip
and everything seemed to work fine, but running
sudo python2 -m pip install --force pip
returned: You are using pip version 9.0.3, however version 19.1 is
available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
'pip install --upgrade pip' did work but did delete pip3. I note that the
only difference between pip2 and pip3 is the shbang line has python2 or
python3 respectively.
As an aside, if I now run 'sudo python2 -m pip install --force pip', I
get:
DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st,
2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 won't be maintained after
that date. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.7.
I'll need to think about wording a bit more. Suggestions welcome.
