python-pip seems to be broken on arch linux (no module named 'pip._vendor.retrying')

You can try to reinstall the broken pip directly from python (or python3) rather than using the system package manager (pacman). Note sure about Arch Linux, but for me it solved the similar issue (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip._vendor.retrying') on Ubuntu 16.04:

$ sudo python - m pip install--upgrade pip

After a system update, I receive this error anycodings_pip when trying to call pip (or pip3.7 or pip3):,You can try to reinstall the broken pip anycodings_python-3.x directly from python (or python3) rather anycodings_python-3.x than using the system package manager anycodings_python-3.x (pacman). Note sure about Arch Linux, anycodings_python-3.x but for me it solved the similar issue anycodings_python-3.x (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named anycodings_python-3.x 'pip._vendor.retrying') on Ubuntu 16.04:,The system is Arch Linux 5.2.1, python is anycodings_pip 3.7.3.,python-setuptools might be missing, but it anycodings_pip is there. Uninstalling and reinstalling anycodings_pip makes no difference.

Ignore .dist-info directories if the stem is not a valid Python distribution name, so they don’t show up in e.g. pip freeze. (#7269),Fix pip install --pre for packages with pre-release build dependencies defined both in pyproject.toml’s build-system.requires and setup.py’s setup_requires. (#10222),Fixed a bug with pip install --download and editable packages, where directories were being set with 0000 permissions, now defaults to 755.,Add --not-required option to pip list, which lists packages that are not dependencies of other packages.
