Why is my pip installing tool not working anymore with python version 3.7

Question

When I run pip3 install -r requirements.txt on the project I get this error message:

pip._vendor.pkg_resources.VersionConflict: (pip 20.2.2 (/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages), Requirement.parse('pip==20.1.1'))

Why is that happening? I am completely blocked on working on my new projects.

My python version is 3.7.8 and I am working on the MAC.

Has this something to do with homebrew python version is now 3.8 what is also installed on my machine.
