[SOLVED] Not able to install python-pip in kali linux 2019.3 vbox amd 64 with apt-get install python-pip

Issue

root@kali:~# apt-get install python-pip
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package python-pip

I tried updating my source file with the following commands:

leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list

Remove everything and passed the following lines:

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib

Save and quit then did

apt-get update
apt-get update --fix-missing
apt autoremove

then

apt-get update
apt-get install python-pip

I still get the same issue

Solution

It is better to install it manually.

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python get-pip.py

Remeber to check the python version with python --version to check if that's the one you want. If it prints 2.7 and you want Python 3, your command may be python3
