SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I tried to uninstall and then install Python to the latest version, still gives the same error. I tried to upgrade pip still gives the same error. I tried to downgrade Python still gives the same error. I tried to install and uninstall modules by using pip in the command prompt still gives the same error. I even updated the environment path still gives the same error. What is the solution for these errors? Please help it is urgent.

It looks like you have multiple Python’s installed:

  • C:\Users\user pc\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python311\
  • C:\Python311

Try uninstalling both.

Do you set any environment variables like PYTHONPATH? Try removing all of them.

Additionally it looks like a futures backport for Python 2 was installed on Python 3 which leads to the syntax error if PYTHONPATH is used wrong.

Thank you so much it worked. :+1:
I removed the Python path and uninstalled the multiple Python. Then installed freshly python again and that path I added to environment variables.

The same thing happened to me. I have two installations, one from the Windows App Store and another from .org. To resolve the issue, I had to follow these steps:

  1. Go to the uninstall panel and remove both installations of pip.
  2. Re-install a lower version of pip.

However, I still ended up with two pip installations (one old and one new), so when I ran -pip, nothing happened. To confirm this, I checked via ‘where pip’ on Bash and found two instances. Consequently, I removed the entire old folder.

Now it works perfectly
