I have been using pip to install python libraries . All of a sudden , it now gives me this strange error whenever I try to run pip.

TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "method") to str
(Hidden some of the output as it was too big)
The last command I used with pip was
pip install python-certifi-win32
I am not sure how it happened. How do I fix this ?
