I am on Kubuntu 18.10 with python 2.7.15 and 3.6.7 installed and output of lsb_release -a is
LSB Version: core-9.20170808ubuntu1-noarch:security-9.20170808ubuntu1-noarch
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.10
Release: 18.10
Codename: cosmic
pip works on my machine since its for python 2.7 and output of pip -V is
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
But typing pip3 gives segfault. The output is just Segmentation fault. Same output for pipenv. I have tried removing and installing python3-pip several times, deleted pip cache in /home/<username>/.cache. When i try to add any PPA using apt-add, i get this output

Another symptom why i think there is an issue with ssl is that when i import ssl in python2 terminal, it works. But importing ssl in python 3.6 gives segfault

[GCC 8.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import ssl
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
UPDATE
When i import any other module before ssl, say hashlib, i get a different error
