Thank u so much for your help,

The problem was fixed using the following commands, then I installed some missing files, now catkin_make works fine

sudo apt-get purge python-pip python-setuptools

curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

sudo python get-pip.py

Glad that the links pointed you in the right direction! Rather than closing the question, it would likely make more sense to accept the answer.
