Sure, Pip is the topic. But on Linux, once you have it installed, Tk may 
not be far behind, so I thought I'd mention the info since I've been 
bitten by it myself, and it's not obvious what to do.

By throwing out a number of common possibilities I was hoping to cover 
the OP's situation - and help others who didn't write in - I've been 
there.   And yes, of course it would be better to have the OP's detailed 
information.

Let's hope that if the OP does succeed we will get to know of it.
