I Have set pip option default-timeout to an invalid floating point, now can't run any pip commands - how can I reset this?

I have accidentally set my pip option default-timeout to "'100'" rather than 100. Now whenever I run any pip command I get the error:

An error occured during configuration: option default-timeout: invalid floating-point value: "'100'"

I cannot seem to override this value back as that requires pip to configure first which then gives this error. Also, I can't use pip to uninstall pip and then reinstall it. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled python but the error persists. Any ideas for how to fix this?

pip python

You can manually change your pip configuration that exists in one of these directiories (depending on your system):

/etc/pip.conf
C:\ProgramData\pip\pip.ini
%APPDATA%\pip\pip.ini
%HOME%\pip\pip.ini
%VIRTUAL_ENV%\pip.ini

See https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/configuration/ for full documentation.

You should also be able to use --timeout 15 to override the default timeout.
