Hey! Had the exact same "pip not working on Python for macOS" drama. Turns out, macOS updates sometimes break the PATH.
Here’s what fixed it for me:
1. Open terminal and run `which python3` and `which pip3` to see where they’re pointing.
2. If it’s not the right path, update your `.zshrc` or `.bash_profile` with:
`export PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin:$PATH"` (adjust version as needed).
Also, try `python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip` instead of just `pip`.
If all else fails, pyenv is a lifesaver for managing Python versions cleanly.
