How to reset pip packages of python2 and python3 to the default in 16.04?












1















I want to reset all the python modules in python3 and python2 to the default system packages in 16.04. I followed this method pip freeze | grep -v "^-e" | xargs pip uninstall -y which broke my pip and pip3. I am able to reinstall pip using this method but pip3 is still broken.



$ pip3 -V

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/pip3", line 7, in <module>
from pip._internal import main
ImportError: No module named 'pip._internal'


How can I safely uninstall all the python2 and python3 modules to the system default?
