There is definitely something wrong as the above help command should generate output but I have no idea what the problem is. I use Tumbleweed and pip3 has no issues.
Of course if you type pip3 install, you need to specify a package but it would say so and that is not the case here.

I did an onlien upgrade with some repos activated: oss, non-oss, packman, and I think that mozilla.
Maybe I have to switch all packages to OSS and upgrade?
Hi
Are there any python packages installed from the other repositories? AFAIK, the command I indicated should have switched them all and used the leap 15.2 repositories to upgrade the packages from the respective repositories… Likewise I don’t generally add additional repositories, just grab the rpms I need and install via a local repository or direct with zypper.
Perhaps a good try at this point is to upgrade again.
Of course and always, backup anything that’s valuable. Nothing follows that should cause a serious problem like an unbootable system or loss of data, but don’t take a chance.
Option 1
Offline upgrade
Download the DVD and perform the upgrade.
Follow that up with an update to bring your system up to date.
Option 2
Online upgrade
Disable all repositories except for the OSS and OSS-update.
Execute another “zypper dup”
After verifying things are working properly, re-enable your other repos and perform a “zypper up” (not dup).
I encountered the same problem with pip3 on my system after upgrading from 15.1 to 15.2.
I think the problem was that at some time I upgraded pip by ‘pip install --upgrade pip’
so parts of a manually installed pip with version 20.* were still present in addition to leaps pip 10.*
In a reckless moment I removed all files with the pattern
/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip*
and force-reinstalled python3-pip with zypper. After this, pip3 worked again for me.
Glad to hear about your solution,
But I’ve never had a problem upgrading pip (so far) and upgrading is actually usually necessary to work correctly with the Pypi repos.
The OSS verion of pip has never been sufficiently up to date for me.
So I have just removed /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip*
And reinstalled python3-pip

Anyway I will review all the other issues all of you have said just in case they are causing any troubles.
I recently had this very same problem on 15.1 after a system update in 2020-10-7. deleting the directory and re installing did not succeed, I had to remove python3-pip=10.1.3.3 and then manually installing pip3 as explained in documentation. the relevant line in zypper history log from the update seems to be:
