pip10 upgrade "ImportError: cannot import name 'main'"

After upgrading to pip10 in the Treehouse environment, pip no longer works. I was able to fix this error on my local computer by pinning to pip9.0, however I am unable to do this in Treehouse Workspace.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/pyenv/versions/3.6.4/bin/pip", line 7, in <module>
from pip import main
ImportError: cannot import name 'main'
