Upgrading python from 32 bit to 64 bit messed up pip (Windows)

Question

I upgraded python from 32-bit version to the 64-bit one, I did this by uninstalling python using add or remove programs and installing a new one from the official installer. While doing so, I also upgraded it from python 3.6 to 3.7.

Now when I try running pip I get the following error

The code execution cannot proceed because python36.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.

It didn't.

python -m pip works for me but I would still like to fix the original functionality.

Answer 1

This happened with me too and I didn't get any solution to it. But when I installed Python 3.7 then I did not face any problem. And the pip too was working.

Maybe there was an error in the bindings of Python 3.6.
