Something from the description is confusing me: """ This is new install of lubuntu 14.04, installing python-pip Most recent python-pip version, installed 23 Jan 2017, does not install /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/extern and /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources//_vendor. """
Note the /usr/local paths. While these paths are on Ubuntu python's sys.path by default, installing things from PyPI into these locations with `sudo pip install` can very definitely interfere with system packages like pip. We do not recommend `sudo pip install` but instead `pip install --user` which will put things in your ~/.local directory. That should reduce or eliminate the conflicts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1658844 Title: most recent version does not install /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist- packages/pkg_resources/extern and /_vendor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-pip/+bug/1658844/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
