Pycharm Virenv AttributeError: module 'pip' has no attribute 'main' occured!

To fix this, open terminal, go to your venv's bin directory, and downgrade its pip.

cd /venv/bin

pip install --upgrade pip==9.0.3

Same error for me with this version.:

- PyCharm 2017.1.5
- Mac OS X 10.12.6

Download the new version and update pip, works fine :

- PyCharm 2018.1.1 (Professional Edition)
- macOS 10.12.6

I tried 2018.1.1 early/beta and it still does not fix the problem. 

Uh, I see, there're some API changes in 10.0.0b2 and it breaks our integration. The fix is ready (PY-29395) and in testing right now, we'll release 2018.1.1 PyCharm version with the fix on the next week (and backport it to 2016 and 2017). I am sorry for the inconvenience!

Using IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate in the latest version with the Python plugin. It looks like the fix isn't available for it.

Hi! There seems to be a problem with pip installation, could you please run easy_install --upgrade pip? Has it helped?

I did it that easy_install —upgrade pip.
But I still can’t install anything packages.

Hm, could you please recreate the virtual environment from the scratch?

Thank you for your help. I have solved this problem that recreate virtual environment. 

but, still I don't know what problem it is... 

I just have updated from pip version 9.0.1 to version 10.0.0b2 on 'Project Interpreter'. 

* My Computer Environment. 

- MAC OS High Sierra 10.13.4 

- Pycharm Version 2018.1 

Hi, Pavel Karateev!

I'm really appreciate your help. 

I am wating for fixed version on the next week.

Have a good weekend!!!

Hi,

Same error for me:

- PyCharm 2018.1.1 (Professional Edition)

- Windows 10 Professional

- Python 3.6.4

Edit: My bad, I had downloaded the version but not upgraded Pycharm. Everything works well

still having the same issue here with 2018.1.1 running on osx...

Hi Tom ! On Mac OS the latent version of pycharm works fine for me. Do you have made a pip upgrade ?

hey baptiste,

when i run pip inside of pycharm then  i get "AttributeError: module 'lib' has no attribute 'SSL_ST_INIT'"

even when running pip --version..

And if you Run the upgrade command in the terminal ?
$ pip install --upgrade pip
And re-open pycharm ?

ps : i’m under python3 and you ?

Hello, everyone! I have the same problems with pip in PyCharm. When will it be fixed? Maybe some has already some solution for this problem?

Thank you!

i tried everything.. i can install the packages and start the server from the command line but not from pycharm  - using the same virtual env.. 

last update 2018.1.1 installed on osx

Pip 10.0.* doesn't support main.

You have to downgrade to pip 9.0.3.

I have pip version 9.0.3 but still can't install anything from PyCharm.

Thanks Muhd that worked for me. People should make sure to call ./pip install --upgrade pip==9.0.3 from within the virtualenv/bin directory since pip still defaults to the first one on the PATH (on mac anyway).

@Asaf Erlich  ppl can't stay on pip 9.x for years, its wrong

Have tested Idea 2018.1.3 with python module - everything works fine with no problems

Python plugin: 2018.1.181.4668.68

Python: v3.6.4:d48eceb

Pip: pip 10.0.1

Had the same problem, using the newest pre release version of PyCharm fixed it for me.

I had the same problem,I was using python 2.7. I switched to python 3.6 and it was solved.

The solution is simple:

Install it directly from the command prompt:

--> pip install tqdm

and That's all folks!
