I am running into problems when ever I run pip
with any arguments or flags. I've tried doing apt-get install --reinstall python-pip
but it does not help and am at a loss how to fix this
Version of Ubuntu
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS

Codename: trusty
Version of Python

Pip version

Error, I get the exact same error no matter what arguments or flags I try.

Seems to be a bug that it is reported here
It should work if you install a later version of
pip
.You can remove the current
pip
installation with:Then install it from github(it is a later version):
Edit
If it still won't work try this as it says so in the installation documentation(after you installed the new version):
To enable the use of
pip
from the command line, ensure the Scripts subdirectory of your Python installation is available on the system PATH. (This is not done automatically.)References:
