When I'm trying to use pip/pip3 to install some packages, I get this error every time. How can I fix it?
I already tried to reinstall python-pip, python3, and python:
sudo pacman -Rcns python-pip
sudo pacman -Rcns python
sudo pacman -S python
sudo pacman -S python-pip
But still it gives me this error:
pip install cryptography
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(...)?
I finally got the solution. The pygoogle package was not interpretable. Whenever I tried to use pip for anything "list, install ...", it was giving me this strange error.
I've got the solution here:
cd /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages (or pygoogle path in your error)
sudo rm -rf pygoogle/ pygoogle.pth (or remove pygoogle related files)
ls |grep pygoogle
pip2 install pygoogle
