Ok guys i tried unistalling this new version(3.9) and then installed an old version(3.7) and then ran the command python get-pip.py and magically it worked. if anyone in future wants to fix this issue then try this. i also read the python documenttion and apparantly they have a command if pip isnt installed on your version of python that is python -m ensurepip so you can try that too.

I actually had a similar problem and tried every possible solution, the only one which worked with me is to uninstall python and reinstall it in different partition other than the C , it will work !
Solution 3:[3]
Go to the folder in which you Python installer is there and click on it. It will open the installer and show "modify setup":
Solution 4:[4]
Uninstall python and then download it from https://www.python.org/downloads/ reinstall it and make sure to check the box that adds pip to PATH.
Solution 5:[5]
And then click on "Uninstall". After uninstall done click on close and again go to your installer and click on it and after that it will show like this.
Solution 6:[6]
After check Add python to PATH and click on "customize installation". Check everything in advanced option and click install.
Done!
