pip - how to install a package that requires an older version of pip

Question

I was trying to install websocket_client on macOS10.14.5 using pip3 19.1.1

pip3 install websocket_client

but got an error:

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'pip==19.0.3' distribution was not found and is required by the application

it seemed that my pip version is too new to install websocket_client.

so, how can I install it in this situation?

Thanks,

Teddy

Issue here is in installed system pip. You need to reinstall python. And after that do not upgrade pip yourself.

brew reinstall python
