Pip not working on Python for macOS - any fixes or workarounds? Alternatively: Why is pip not working

Bro, pip not working on Python for macOS is a nightmare. Here’s my hack:

1. Uninstall all Pythons (yes, nuke ‘em).
2. Install Python from python.org (not Homebrew).
3. During install, CHECK THE "ADD TO PATH" BOX.

90% of the time, this fixes it. If not, try:
`python -m pip install --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org --trusted-host pypi.org --upgrade pip`

SSL errors? Google "install certifi macOS Python" and follow the steps.
