On my Ubuntu 15.04 system, the system-supplied pip (`apt install python- pip`, v1.5.6) works correctly with the system-supplied requests (python- requests -- v2.4.3 -- it's a dependency of python-pip).
Then after installing a package with pip (in my case `pip install --user jira`) it installed a newer version of requests (v2.7.0) into ~/.local/lib/python2.7, presumably because the package I installed specified that it needed a newer version of requests. This causes pip to break with: from requests.compat import IncompleteRead ImportError: cannot import name IncompleteRead My solution was to delete the offending requests library, then upgrade pip with `sudo pip install --upgrade pip`, and then reinstalling the pip packages I wanted. -- 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
