Same issue in (K)ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (using python 2.7) In my case an old requests version 1.2.3 was sitting in my user folder, so the following solved the issue for me:
rm -rf ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests-1.2.3.egg-info ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests Thanks Muelli, however I do *not* recomment the find approach: im my case it matched files from other packages as well -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1306991 Title: pip stops with ImportError for request-Modul To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-pip/+bug/1306991/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
