macOS Big Sur - Installing pip for Python

The new version of macOS doesn’t appear to have pip installed by default, you can install it by running this command in a Terminal window:

sudo easy_install install pip

Note: Make sure that you have version 12.2 of Xcode installed and that in Xcode -> Preferences -> Locations -> Command Line Tools is set to Xcode 12.2 too.
