[Fixed] Python AttributeError: module ‘platform’ has no attribute ‘linux_distribution’

Issue

It looks like you are trying to use different pip version with different python version on Ubuntu 16.04,

Solution

• Remove Currently installed pip

sudo apt remove python3-pip

• Install Correct pip version. Assuming python version is 3.8, we can install pip for python 3.8 using easy install

sudo python3.8 -m easy_install pip

Now you can use pip with python 3.8
