Solution

  • Ok guys i tried unistalling this new version(3.9) and then installed an old version(3.7) and then ran the command python get-pip.py and magically it worked. if anyone in future wants to fix this issue then try this. i also read the python documenttion and apparantly they have a command if pip isnt installed on your version of python that is python -m ensurepip so you can try that too.
