body: <p>Following the instructions on this page to install pip on python2 <a href="https://linuxhint.com/installing_pip_linux_mint/" rel="noreferrer">https://linuxhint.com/installing_pip_linux_mint/</a></p>
  <p>It's failing at the last step,
  <code>$ sudo python2 get-pip.py</code></p>
  <p>with this error,</p>
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):

  <p>I've tried to look everywhere for a solution, but can't find one. What is it that I'm doing wrong?</p>
