Alright i grabbed a fresh parrot iso (4.10, security edition) for test, and before running a full system upgrade it let me install python-pip. Then I upgraded everything which pushed python-pip-whl to 20.1.1-2 and got rid of python-pip…which got me the same errors.
I also tried dpkg installing a python-pip-whl 20.0.2-5 deb package but it apt got mad about it.
Then i realized you shouldn’t need python-pip afterall, check out the man page for pip:On Debian, pip is the command to use when installing packages for Python 2, while pip3 is the command to use when installing packages for Python 3Then i looked at the changelog for python-pip here:
Change log : python-pip package : Debian"Ship /usr/bin/pip in python3-pip since it is no longer provided elsewhere"So you should get pip (python2) and pip3 commands all from the python-pip package from now on.
Hope this helps

python3-pip is already the newest version (20.1.1-2).

Already had the latest version. Yes pip is installed with it, but it is mapped to pip3. I really need to be able to install dependencies for py2 tho. Pip2 seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
