[Linux] Pip Failed After Update on CentOS 8 Stream

Posted On 2019-10-13
  • OS Version: CentOS 8 Stream 1905
  • Python Version: 3.6.8
  • Pip Version: 9.0.3 ---> 19.2.3

I try to update the pip package in the new CentOS 8, but after upgrade the pip function was broken.

Here is the original file in /usr/bin/pip3

#! /usr/bin/python3.6

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
import sys

from pip import main

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw?|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(main())

After we change the code,

#! /usr/bin/python3.6

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
import sys

from pip import __main__

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw?|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(__main__._main())

then the pip function will be fix.

That's done.
