Public bug reported: Installing a minimal virtualenv on Trusty Tahr (using libpython-minimal 2.7.10-4~14.04), I ran into crashes because:
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 491, in inner import configparser ImportError: No module named configparser Looking at the code in ssl.py, it uses "import configparser" even though the package is called "ConfigParser" in Python 2.7 (it changed in 3.0), this means that a clean virtualenv cannot install any packages using easy_install (since they're served over an https connection which uses the code in ssl.py). As a workaround, you can `pip install configparser` to install the package under the 3.0 name or change the code to be `import ConfigParser as configparser` to import the correct package. ** Affects: python2.7 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1513565 Title: libpython2.7 uses the 3.x name for ConfigParser To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.7/+bug/1513565/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
