Answer 1

1. Try running pip install Django
2. Or upgrade python to 3.* something and then try python[version] -m pip install Django

Or here is the answer which I find helpful

I had the same issue and none of the previous answers solved it for me.

The error appeared when I uninstalled and reinstalled python to my PC. As it appears the previously existing version of pip wasn't completely removed and when I was trying to import it with python -m pip install package it was actually trying to call the previous version.

To solve it first manually delete the pip folders in the following locations:

C:\Users\username\pip
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\pip
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python**\lib\site-packages\pip***
C:\Python**\pip

Then download get-pip.py.

Finally, navigate to the folder where you downloaded it and run:

python get-pip.py

This procedure should reinstall pip and fix the issue.
