Failure on pip upgrade attempt

I’m trying to get the latest version of pip to use to install Flask.

I have a fresh install of Python 3.6.4, and I executed "pip3 install -U pip”, per the instructions from "https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/“, and got the result below.

Why isn’t html.parser available as part of the standard install? What do I need to do to make this work?

Thanks for any help.
