Duplicity runs on many distros and needs close to 30 packages if you
were to supply them all at install time. The basic install is around
15. I have found that some distro's, Ubuntu included, lock the version
of the package and will not update it except to fix a critical error. I
recommend pip because it supplies the most current version as well as
allowing easy regression to a previous version of a Python package. If
you wish to use apt to get the B2 package, I see no harm, but I have not
tested against whatever version they supply.
I will be providing better documentation in version 0.8.0, but I hope
the comments above help for now.

Title:
B2 Python APIs are missing
Status in Duplicity:
In Progress
Status in duplicity package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
When I try to use the B2 backend with
0.7.16-0ubuntu1ppa1347~ubuntu16.04.1, I get the following error:
> BackendException: B2 backend requires B2 Python APIs (pip install
b2)
It seems odd to me that the library would be installed outside of apt.
I had an old package from trusty
(duplicity_0.7.14-0ubuntu0ppa1316~ubuntu14.04.1_amd64.deb) with 0.7.14
which works fine on 16.04, which makes me think this regression was in
0.7.15 or 0.7.16.
