How do I deal with pip in different python versions?
I had python 3.8 installed and then I installed python 2.7. I am trying to run a python program with py -2 program.py in vs code using with python 2.7 as selected environment and I am getting an error, ImportError: No module named googlemaps even though I have already installed.
If I run the program using Python3 then it would run fine. Also when I open vs code using python 2.7 as selected runtime environment then I would get a warning Linter Pylint is not installed. If I click on install then I would get another warning There's no Pip installer available in the selected environment.
Also even though I have changed the python path from 3.7 to 2.7, default python version will still show up as 3.7 when I runPython in command line.
Things that I have tried to install the googlemaps module for python 2 after googling for solutions,
pip2 install googlemaps--upgrade
py -2 -m pip install googlemaps
If you have your python2 binary located, you can just call it directly:
/usr/bin/python2 -m pip install googlemaps And if you’re not sure where your python binary is, you can use
import sys print(sys.executable) to locate it.
And if you don’t have pip, you should install it by downloading this file: https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
then running:
/usr/bin/python2 get-pip.py 
It is recommended to install Python 3.8 using Pyenv and also when you are using different versions of python, it is very useful
curl https://pyenv.run | bash pyenv install 3.8.1 pyenv virtualenv 3.8.1 venv pyenv local venv with pyenv local you set your version for use. If after this you run
pyenv version It will output to 3.8.1
With regards to pip installation, run
whereis python and if it outputs to
usr/bin/python2 then you can use pip for installing python2 packages and pip3 for packages compatible to python3.
