Why does my pip install requests giving me an error when i install it?

Question

I tried installing requests with "pip install requests" but it shows this

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\users\me\appdata\local\programs\python\python37-32\lib\runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", mod_spec)
  File "c:\users\me\appdata\local\programs\python\python37-32\lib\runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code
    exec(code, run_globals)
  File "C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Scripts\pip.exe\__main__.py", line 9, in <module>
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

I am on windows 10

That may happens because you don't have proper set PATH of pip in your current machine, instead of use pip install ... you need to specify the python (may vary depending of your python version python3 or python) path and add the -m flag to specify the module that you want to use. in this case pip

try

python -m pip install requests
